Hello Pat, ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Fecho" <hp65@telus.net> > Well, finally sent for the Death certificate for my supposed grandfather.....Hurrah, it is him.

Or is this enlistment? > In between, I have nothing.Is the next step the Electorals but they are not online? Inbetween 1911 & 1914? Or 1914 & death? Or? Registers of Electors are not currently online. There is a fairly complete run nationally at the British Library. I think the London Metropoltan Archives have some for some of London - check their Catalogue at A2A. Usually, the local studies/archives centre/library for the successor London Borough to the Metropoltan Borough in which was/is Irwell Place will ahve the Registers for their own borough. > He is on the 1911 Census with the family-my grandmother and my Mom Annie and sister. > However, on the 1911, he is also shown living with his sister and brother at 35 Neptune Street. > How can this be??? "shown living" - no, censuses until 2001 record place where a person actually was on census night. Did he sign the household schedule for his own address? Usual reason for double enumeration is confusion over what was meant by "overnight" on census night. The 2011 form added to the confusion by specifying one day eg."overnight 7th" rather than the more usual and specific "overnight 6th/7th" or "overnight 7th/8th". Special arrangements were made to enumerate people in transit and working overnight. Your grandfather may have filled in the census form in advance, expecting to be at home, and for some reason was at his siblings' home....and they filled inthe form on Monday morning. We shall never now. Still, it is nice to have him twice... tho' can lead to more questions if the details do not correspond exactly :-) Kind regards, John Henley > > Hoping for some answers from the very busy Rootsweb friends.Patricia in Alberta,Canada > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > This mailing list works in parallel with the London surname interest list on the web at > http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/london.html .
