Yes I did, but can't see a blue bar. It definately takes you to the PRO site. Do you have a small screen monitor that need's a scroll bar at the bottom to get all of the page on some sites?? Kath. x

Think it will have taken you to the 1901 census on Ancestry. If not I'm going mad...........can't see anything with a blue line, lol No....I'm not going mad, it takes you to the PRO official 1901 census site. You have to buy credits to see the full image on there. Kath. x

If it's on the 1901 census, it says he is a Baker and Flour Dealer (shopkeeper). Kath. x
