Looking for a clue on my research. I have tried everything I know to do even adding additional years to ages. I am trying to find Arthur Vickers born 1884 Basford, Nottingham. Elizabeth Anne Hackett born 1883 Brewood, Staffordshire. They were married in Oct of 1911 he lived in Boldmere ? I think that is in Warwickshire. And she was living in Brewood, Staffordshire. Like I said I have tried every thing I know of and sure there are other ways I have no clue of. I cannot find Arthur Vickers or Elizabeth Hackett. Like I say they were married 12 Oct 1911 in Staffordshire. I have the marriage certificate. Would it be possible that they both did not fill in the census. Arthur Vickers was at the time of marriage a Manufacturing stationers Manager. Elizabeth a school teacher. I would think they would be responsible people and fill in the census. Any input as to why I am having trouble finding at least one would be appreciated very much. Jo-Ann Vickers

Jo-Ann, I have found Elizabeth's parents on the 1911 census in Bishops Wood, Brewood, Staffs, as you indeed may have, and Elizabeth is not there. She was living away from home as a Teacher on the 1901 census, so I suppose there is no reason that she should still be with her parents, but when all else fails you try anything. Goodness me, she is elusive isn't she? Incidentally she states Wolverhampton as her birthplace on the 1901 census. There is an Elizabeth Hackett, recorded as Hakcet on Find my Past, aged 28, born in Wolverhampton. She is working as a barmaid in a Hotel on Stafford Street, Hanley, Staffs. There appears to be a page missing on Find my Past, as it doesn't show the page with the householder's declaration, so the name of the Hotel is not shown. Apart from the obvious divergence of occupation, she fits. Maybe she boarded there as a Teacher, but helped out in the Hotel at night, hence the use of the word "barmaid." The reference is RG14PN16538 RG78PN1022 RD361 SD1 ED28 SN2 By the way, Ancestry appears not to have a complete 1911 census of Staffs yet. I tried with the Publican's name at this hotel, a George Chamberlain, but he couldn't be found. Hope this helps, Brian Binns -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 06 January 2012 20:45 To: [email protected] Subject: [NTT] 1911 census search Looking for a clue on my research.
