Charles H Parsons 39
Lousia J Parsons 34
Ernest A Parsons 10
Emily J Parsons 8
> Walter J Parsons 6

Well, having no luck.

Can't find a matching Walter born in Exmouth / Devon. And there are a few too many Williams. Do you have middle names for them? Sometimes middle names are included in the census records.

Ha, bad luck -- there are *two* Rose Parsons-s born 1895 in Exmouth, living in St Thomas in 1911!

But only one of them is living with a Florence.

Was your Rose a Rose Nellie? If so, just search for Parsons living with Rose Nellie Parsons in St Thomas.

... Eek, that didn't work. There are no Parsons-s living with her. She must be the other one?

If you want to try out the 1911 census Debra, you can do it here:

http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx

There are no subscriptions -- anybody who wants to see anything there has to pay by the view. But you can search for free.

Try looking for one of your people by year (+/- 2 years, say) and place of birth.

If you find them, then search for the same surname (no given name) in the same place, living with the given name and surname of the person you found.

Then you'll get a list of who else was in the household (as long as the names aren't too common, and more than one household gets mushed together).

If you're looking for details you may need to view the transcript or image, but you may be able to find all you need that way.

If that sounds too complicated or you need help, shout. I don't like to spoil people's fun by doing stuff for them if they enjoy doing it themselves!

Hello Ricochet
Firstly i would like to appologise for not noticing your qeustion on my thread, i must of been half asleep or something had had the grandchildren all day. I have got them on the 1901 census but my computor is playing up and i cant get the flash player to work so i am stuck. I only know that they had a sister Rose Parsons born 1895 and Florence who was 8 at the time and just found another sister. At that time they lived at Back Street Exmouth Devon, but i would like to know if anyone has the 1911 census where they was then.
Thankyou
Debbie
