I am searching the 1911 census records getting a list together
before I buy credits so I am not too tempted to spend loads
on guessing.
I have come accross 1 I may have a problem with.
Margaret Mary Ross born Liverpool 1894 I have found one in Warrington aged 18 1893 It say's Military.
I wonder what that could be? were women in the military 1911
and I wonder what was in Warringon then. Maybe some kind of nurse?
The reason for my post is, I have noticed others being unable to find the address by looking at the page, perhaps there is nothing else to learn. I must finish the list and find out.

I have a look as well and can only see the Warrington one.
She would be 18 yrs old and could be married ??

Yes the same person, the same family but she is living in Warrington Lancashire in some kind of military position. Not yet married she is still Ross.

Thanks Jacky

She was at Orford Barracks Warrington........................see my pm.

The plot thickens I have just spoken to sombody at Fulwood barracks Preston, they hold the archives of Orford Warrington.
They can not imagine what an 18 year old single woman would be doing
there.
It was the South Lancashire Regiment the Kings left for Liverpool 1908
they said that some women who were married to serving men were allowed there but not all, some had to shop in local shops because there were not allowed in.
There were some familes living there but her family lived in Liverpool
in Toxteth Park at the time.

my ggrandfather was at orford barracks he died in 1901 .he was a civilian working at the barracks ..but his wife and his seven children plus another female with different surname listed as a servant lived at orford barracks with him they are on the 1891 census as orford barracks warrington as their adress regards keith
