1921 census

[Girl Guide]

Gibel there is one John Dobson born 1862 in Liverpool on the 1921 census.  Hovering over the transcription button gives me the names of persons these being John, Agnes, Agnes Christiana and three others.

Could this be your John?

The address I was looking for is

8 Greenhill Avenue Allerton Liverpool


The head of the family is John Dobson born 1860 in Liverpool.

I’d be grateful is someone can either find it or decide it has been missed.

Try DOLSON

I am using the advanced search and not putting in a name.  I did put in West Derby RD,  Allerton parish  and the road name but it does not appear to want to have house numbers.  It then listed everyone in the street

I have purchased the original image from the 1921 census. I can read it fine, is there any point in ordering the transcript also. Does it add any new information that the image of the 1921 census does not show?

I'm super excited for the release of the '21.  I'm not sure what I'll find but it is always great fun trying to interpret further information on the forms just by the way some people filled them out.

One thing I would like to comment on, which no one else seems to highlight, is I think the 'conservation' of the data is paramount. Yes, it is costly to properly index, digitise and store the data, but conservation to me is key.   The fact the census materials have been checked, cleaned and are now being stored appropriately is so important.  Remember these were created in the days of coal fires and all this paper would have needed the soot (not to mention other nasties) removed to keep the document in top condition.

I'll be heading to a hub and hoping the system doesn't  crash!   

I posted this a while ago, but there was an interesting segment on radio 4 about the work done to prepare the records. (I've never linked a post before so hope this works.)

Thank you everyone who helped with my search.

They are indeed indexed as Dolson!

I now have my father and mother in the 1921 census.

I’ve also found a family friend who will be 102 next month!

Looks like there are going to be quite a number of misread surnames in the transcription records    I've already discovered that with one that I was looking for.  Eylain instead of England!

I have purchased three original pages of the 1921 census that apply to my grandparents and am surprised that they do not seem to display a place of residence. This was one of the reasons that I subscribed in the first place. Previous censuses had their addresses in the first column. Am I missing something?
