To all:- I am forwarding the usual information-filled column by Gordon Watts. There is so much going on -- it is nice to pack it into one column. Above all -- Remember the YES reply to Question 53 on the long census forms and Question #8 on the short form. It is nice to see the complete date of birth which is missing from the 1911 -- I have transcribed many pages so know only month, year and age was given. Muriel M.
