Where are the Reed family in 1921?

[Nigel Porter]

I've been trying to find the family of my wife's great aunt in the 1921 census.  Daisy Grimwood (1884 - 1961) married Henry Edward Reed (1882 - 1943) on July 18th 1911 in Poplar.  Their daughter was Henrietta Josephine Alice Reed (1915 - 1990) and the family are together in Poplar on the 1939 register, but despite trying all the combinations I can think of I can't find them in the 1921 census, so can anyone please help?

On 1922 and 1923 electoral registers Henry and Daisy are at 1 Cross St, Bromley, Poplar with John Ethelwold Grimwood. A 1921 census search for the address turns up John, but with other people

Hi,

I think they are in Scotland.

I found this baptism which looks like her,


St Andrew, Poplar
02 Jan 1916
DOB:  3 Oct 1915
Henrietta Alice Josephine
Parents:  Henry Edward & Daisy REED
Abode:  55 Gray Street, Yoker, Clydbank, Glasgow
Machinist


The free search available at Scotlands People gives a Henry E, Daisy, Henrietta A, and a Henry E (aged 2) living in Scotstoun and Yoker.

You will be able to see this info if you become a member of Scotlands People which is free but you have to pay to see more info.

I found these births,

Henrietta A Jos REED
1915
mmn:  GRIMWOOD


Henry Edward REED
1918

Both Scotstoun and Yoker.


This could be Henry E REED in WW2 which would explain why I can't find him in the 1939 Register,

I found this online,

the address matches the one given by the REED family in 1939.

Many thanks for your help Daisypetal and Mabel as I thought I was going mad, given the fairly distinctive names.

No idea how I missed the Glasgow address on Henriettas baptism, that would have saved me a lot of time.  Naming not that original, with a Henry and Henrietta, dread to think what a third child would have been called.
