Could some one have a quick peep at this one :-S


I was looking for a "Emma Newman, bn 1893, at Barrow upon Soar " using GR Search and got this...

There are no results for "Emma Newman" in 1911 Census For England & Wales
? There were no matches found.


I eventually found her by omitting her birth date and found that...
GR`s transcription for 1911 census has Emma Elizabeth Newman age 67 living with her father aged 55.
That would mean Emma was 12 yrs old before her father was born.

Just shows again, you cannot be 100% certain of the validity of any transcriptions.

(To err is human).... that's OK by me, `cos I is divine innit :-D
