Actually you are looking at 1911 not 1901!!

Well - it won't load for me...which could be slow internet speed or because I don't have a sub for GR records!

However, it does say it is a 1911 image. Some of us have subs for that on FMP.

If you could say how old Emily was, and the address, we can look it up

A bit late marrying but a good chance this is the henry and Constance on that record:

Marriages Dec 1905 (>99%)
CASTLETON Henry William Lambeth 1d 645
GRIMES John William Lambeth 1d 645
JARVIS Constance Francis S Lambeth 1d 645
SLATER Mary Lambeth 1d 645

as the other 2 wise ones have said- we need to look at the image to compare the writing on other entries

Oh my, Jan, we're on the same wavelength today!

I'd agree with Jan.

But if you wanted to give the full details of the census image, we can look it up on other sites and compare the writing on the page.

Can you give us the details of the census so we can see the whole page?

Could you please give some details so we can find the record and have a look at the image?

Hi,

I've just started in this site and managed to find my great great grandparents and great grandparents in the first hour of using it. I got a census form which I am almost certain is them. However I can't read the last name. I'm thinking Pavis or Pavris but when I search for here on the records nothing comes up.

I've put the image here: http://i56.tinypic.com/34rwswy.jpg

Thanks for your help
