Can I have some help with a look up on the 1911 Census

I'm looking for Cyrus George Curtis born 1868 Dorset.

He didn't die until 1940, so was on the 1911.

A possible match is a Cyles Curtis aged 40, living Dorchester, born 1871.

Thanks

Barbara

Hello Barbara

It must be him as he was born in Buckland Newton and married in 1902 which would make him married 9 yrs in 1911, which the Census confirms.

As there is a match for a marriage between Julia Ann Brownsea, it looks as if she preferred her middle name.

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Jan

Looks like the correct one then if Julia uses the name Anna.
