Who wears the trousers?
« on: Wednesday 28 February 24 11:31 GMT (UK) »
I came across this 1921 census sheet with a "non-traditional" twist.

The handwriting appears to be Benjamin's - the signature matches.

In 1911 the family were at the same address, with Benjamin as Head.
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.

"I pay the rent so put me first" she told him.
So he did.

After ten years plus of marriage he must have finally got the message. I don't think it took me that long. ::)
