Hi Derek, I don't have access to the 1911 census of England. I use the online index at: http://www.1911census.co.uk However, I do have a little trick for assembling a household, knowing where one person was. I did that for your Eliza DAWLEY and Anne BEADSHAIN and came up with the following household: *Schedule type* *Last names* *First names* *Sex* *Birth year* *Age in 1911* *District / other* *County / other* HOUSEHOLD BEADSHAIN ANNE F 1900 11 Leicester Leicestershire HOUSEHOLD DAWLEY ELIZA F 1857 54 Leicester Leicestershire HOUSEHOLD DAWLEY MADEL F 1891 20 Leicester Leicestershire HOUSEHOLD DAWLEY SARAH F 1885 26 Leicester Leicestershire I think you can be pretty sure that these are your PAWLEYs because of the following two birth registrations that match the daughters in the above census: Births Sep 1891 (>99%) Pawley Mabel Leicester 7a 243 Births Jun 1885 (>99%) Pawley Sarah Leicester 7a 266 There are no corresponding birth registrations for DAWLEYs. Even more convincing is the 1901 census which shows the same individuals (except Annie, of course): William Pawley 45 Bricklayers Labourer Leicester Leicester Formerly Saint Margarets Wigston Leicestershire Eliza Pawley 44 Leicester Leicester Formerly Saint Margarets Banbury Oxfordshire Ernest Pawley 20 Shoemaker Heel Attacher Leicester Leicester Formerly Saint Margarets Leicester William Pawley 17 Bricklayers Labourer Leicester Leicester Formerly Saint Margarets Leicester Sarah Pawley 15 Shoe Machinist Leicester Leicester Formerly Saint Margarets Leicester Percy Pawley 12 Leicester Leicester Formerly Saint Margarets Leicester Mabel Pawley 9 Leicester Leicester Formerly Saint Margarets Leicester And, the clincher: if you go back to the household from the 1911 census and plug in "Banbury" as the place of birth, up pops Eliza DAWLEY! Hope that helps.
