Always look at previous or following images if someone is at the top or bottom of a page

Can I point out that the father on census is Thomas not Charles Joseph.

Lorraine

out of curiousity are viewing the census record on this site?, if so it does not give you the option of looking at the next or previous pages, that is why you cannot see these pages.

Another one of the pitfalls of looking on GR for records

Oh Lorraine, if you are buying credits on here - Ive never done it but it sounds like you dont get a good deal - take a free 14 day trial with ancestry.co.uk - then you can search 24/7 for census and lots of other records.


Have you noted the point Jim has made about the fathers name?
