1921 census

What does yx written in green in the box for place of birth mean

[PaulineJ]

Would have to see it before making any suggestions.
Can you post that area (of the paper) of the census return?

[Milliepede]

Is it for one person only or a whole household?  Thinking it might be a "ditto" mark but as PaulineJ suggests would need to see it.

[Sylviel]

Thank you both for responding. It is not a ditto mark it is definitely yx and is for the first person on the census, the places of birth for other household members are there. Hopefully the attachment is clear enough for you to see

It is a bit blurry when enlarged, but I would say that is NK for 'not known' and has been added by a census worker who has noticed there is no place given.

There are a lot of numbers annotated over the page. Could it be a number? As Genie says, very blurry... could it be "48"?

Hi,

The Green annotations on the 1921 census, were placed there for statistical purposes and relate to type of employment.  On your image you have 459/, this relates to makers of drinks, which would tie in with occupation given as Maltsters Labour. 

The occupation numbers used are from 1 - 999, followed by a slash and another number, I cannot read this on the image posted, but it will be in the range of O - 8 these indicate I.e., self employed, not working at home etc.

At the end of the list 1-999, is an X, which shows he was retired or not employed.

Can you supply the number written after 459/?

What is the age of the person the green annotations refer too.

Or just post more information so a direct lookup can be made.
