Member Since: June 2007 Posts: 66 Send Message	Hi everyone I'm a little confused as to why it appears the whole family changed their surname from Dods in 1981 to Apter by 1901 but then back to Dods by 1911. Can anyone advise? Thank you, Jo :-)

	If you look at the original of the 1901 census you'll see that the name is Dods. The previous family was Apter. Hint: Always look at the original.
