Hi Brian & Jo-Ann Ancestry have the full 1911 for Staffs but its not transcribed as yet You can search the RG78 summaries which are very useful for addresses I find Being summaries they usually record the surname only or with initials , so a search for CHAMBERLAIN and keywords Stafford street Hanley finds one hit in 1911 Looking at that finds the Hotel is the Saracens Head schedule 2 Looking at the 1911 for Staffs and selecting Hanley ED28 page 4 (usually 2 pages per schedule, 4 in this case as its the large schedule) finds the page for the Hotel & occupants The name is actually Elizabeth HACCKET on the page and it looks to me as if he simply did not know how to spell the name or just entered a stray C , (I have done it myself :-) Against her name and the others after the CHAMBERLAINs is the word Boarder , her relationship to the head of household is assistant, all the others after her are servants G CHAMBERLAIN signs the schedule, address Saracens Hotel (43 rooms) It certainly looks like a good possibility for her Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > The reference is RG14PN16538 RG78PN1022 RD361 SD1 ED28 SN2 > By the way, Ancestry appears not to have a complete 1911 census of Staffs > yet.

Hi Nivard, The transcribers at Find my Past have actually recorded it as Harcket, not as I originally advised. On the actual return which I have on the screen in front of me, the word Boarder has been added by the enumerator, with ditto marks for all the other persons listed below Elizabeth. It was not recorded by the main householder. However, as you rightly say, Elizabeth is denoted as an "assistant" whereas all the others are servants. I still think that this is Jo-Ann's elusive Elizabeth.

Jo-Ann, Apologies. Looks like I stopped at the first likely matches that I found. Unfortunately, I haven't purchased any new credits at Find My Past as I get it for free at the library. So I can only do limited searching from home. At least Brian and Nivard are on the job. Peter
