Hi List I am hoping for a few suggestions. I have been excitedly searching the 1911 census in the hope of finally being able to identify my great grandparents. My grandparents divorced during WW2 and Mum had very little to do with her father so she was never able to give me a great deal of information. My grandfather Arthur Samuel Taylor was born on the 20th June 1906 (along with his twin sister Minnie Kathleen) to Sam Taylor - music teacher & Kate Taylor formerly Burn. Mum always said that there were 2 brothers George & Ginger, an older sister Marion and a younger sister Phyllis When I first got access to the 1901 census I thought finally I will find something, unfortunately Sam and Kate do not appear together in 1901. So I waited with baited breath for the 1911 census. I have grandad's birth certificate, his marriage certificate and his death certificate, not that they help a great deal other than to tell me that his dad was dead prior to my grandparents marriage in 1929 as Sam is listed as deceased and as a newsagent. Today I found my grandfather in the 1911 census as I had no information other than there names I figured it was safest to search for Grandad rather than his parents. I found Grandad straight away, which was fantastic. The rest of the results is where my request comes in. In the transcription it states the following: Taylor, Kate Head Married F 34 No Occupation Battersea London Burn, Minnie Sister Single F 31 Ironer in Laundry Battersea London Taylor Minnie Kathleen Daughter F 4 Nottingham Taylor Arthur Samuel Son M 4 Nottingham According to the census transcription (the original agrees - it also states that Kate had been married for 5 years) that Kate is married but, she is listed as Head of the household. As her husband isn't there I guess I understand why she is listed as Head, but, where could he be ? I don't know what his occupation was in 1911 he could have still been teacher music or a newsagent, so I figured he could be working or visiting, but, I have checked all the Sam's and Samuel Taylors in Nottingham and found nothing that could be the right one. Does anyone have a suggestion on where I try next ? Thanks heaps Barb

Widen your search. There is no reason he should necessarily be in Notts. Also try looking for the other siblings - George and Marion - How much younger was Phyllis?
