Does anyone know if there are missing census records for certain areas? I knpw my grandfather was born in Dover in 1891, but there are no records of him or his mother/father in the 1901 census. He was too young to be in the forces. Any ideas? Paul |

Hi, The indexing is fairly poor sometimes. If you can get to the Record Office work through Dover on fiche and they may turn up. Gwynne |

Paul Their names may have been transcribed incorrectly. Try posting the names, approx ages and location on here and some clever person may be able to find them for you. |

I could not find my Grandmother and her family on the 1901 but had an address from her marriage certificate 5 years later and put this in. I had to pay to view but the family came up on the census return sheet. They are still not showing on name search as individuals. I also looked at the household entry for my Grandfather who I could find with 2 of his sisters but not their parents. These showed up on the household list. So if you do have addresses on any certificates it is well worth trying , or look at households if only one name is found, that way like me, you may strike lucky. |
