Two Little Nells - there's a curiosity! (I'm not proposing that word as a collective noun, you understand.) |

Geoff I don't even remember posting anything on that board so either I am getting very dopey or I have a doppelganger - or even more frightening, a dopey doppelganger!!! nell |

You've got it in one Nell! If you are the Little Nell who's posted on the wrong board on RootsChat (Surrey), I seem to have done the same thing! |

Geoff I assume you are implying that this is a very rare chance as I am normally perfect? nell |

It's always worth checking the houses a few each side on the census. I've found two or three cases where brothers or sisters have married and moved to a new address a few doors away from their sibling. |

Glad its not just me! I think sometimes I'm so keen on gathering new info, I forget to check what I've already found out. nell |

I'm dopey too!! I spent ages trying to find someone in a census. Eventually found him mistranscribed but when i recorded the address it rang a bell---because it was next door to his parents (who had been transcribed correctly). Sarah |

Having just been to some records offices I thought I would put my findings neatly into my folders. I had found that living next door to my great-grandfather in Manor Grove, Richmond on the electoral roll in the 1930s was his sister, and her husband John Evans. I tried looking for a John Evans born in Richmond on the 1901 census and couldn't find him. Only when I was putting the info in, I found the printout from the 1901 census with the great-grandfather at the bottom of the page living at no. 5, Manor Grove- just above his household is Mr John Evans with his first wife at no. 4and I now know that he was born in Spitalfields and he was (yet another) policeman! DOH! nell |
