Morning

I am exploring a new branch of my Callear family tree and I am struggling to find:

  • William Powell Callear (b. ~1887) on 1911 Census
  • his parents William (b. ~1848) and Ann Ellen Callear (b. ~1859)

I think I need to learn to be more "abstract" with my searches, so I'm hoping any potential replies will provided useful hints/tips.

What I know:

1. In 1901, William (53), Ann Ellen (42) and William P Callear (13) are living in Snedshill, Priors Lee

---
Ecclesiastical parish: St Peter
Residence Place: Snedshill, Snedshill, Shropshire, England
Piece: 2523
Folio: 45
Page Number: 29
Household Schedule Number: 153
---


2. Early research into William P Callear returns a match in the 1939 census and a possible death in 1955. Logically, he must be somewhere in the 1911 census

I think you are quoting 1891 census data there. not 1901

ShaunJ - sorry - you are indeed correct about it being the 1891 data. I had worked backwards from 1901 and pasted the wrong data.

ShaunJ - I'm currently running with an Ancestry subscription so I can't view the second link (hosted in findmypast). What sort of document are you referencing? Are they also found on Ancestry?
