My great grandfather appears to have been listed in the 1901 census as being a Chilli British Subject. Does anyone know what this means and where I might be able to find more info? Im at such a loss with this branch of my family.

Could it have been mistranscribed and possibly be child of British Subject.

If you would like to post some details, I'll take a look.

OH!!!! I never thought of that!

This is a long and very confusing one but here goes - Alfred Ragless married to (apparently but no records ever found) Emily Rattue. The biggest confusion is that there appear to be 2 Alfred Ragless' on the 1901 census.

p.s the record dosent show on ancestry search only on the 1901 records!

Not sure if this is any connection to you,

I've found him on Ancestry, had to do a free search on the 1901 to find his birth year and place living.


The name has been transcribed wrongly and loking at the image it does look like British Subject, Chili.

From what I can see Alfred Ragless jr went to Chile, so I would guess that Alfred Ragless sr was def from chile and you guys have given me info I didnt even know about!!! Im sadly very excited! Is there anyway I can trace him to Chile??? I suppose thats almost impossible?

I would imagine he was born in Chile, and was a British Subject (i.e., his dad was British) - sort of exactly what it says, so what's the problem?

is is possible alfred and emily were not married at all??? it would explain why I have never found a marriage record for them. alfred would have to had been recorded as living in this country from chile, how can i find out? questions, questions, questions!

The 1911 census says he was born sussex. There is also ANOTHER Alfred Ragless on the 1901 census as being born in sussex, occcupation labourer. However, the ALfred Ragless I am interested in was a telegraph engineer and the chile british subject alfred was a re telegraphist. I can trace an alfred ragless to sussex born about the right time but which alfred is he? this is all very confusing and I hope im making sense, im basically trying to ascertain which alfred ragless is the one I am looking for, the 1911 census is def him as my gradmother was vida aurelia zoe.
