Hello everybody, about the missing numbers- using the Id codes in the 1901 census-what I found was , that I keyed in the names I knew about and found gaps in the consecutive Id nos, so searched again just putting in surname and civil parish, and found the missing number with the same family name , with an age that would fit as a middle sibling, so I am noting it down and assuming it was a brother or a sister I had no knowledge of up to then,I have 2 databases, a tree I have proved by family knowledge aand other sources, and a boxfile of speculative relations I am waiting to prove. I havent tried Veras download facility yet, so that might help. Of course the definitive way of finding the whole group is to pay to view, with my scrooge way you find the head, find the others one by one and establish their relationship to the head and make assumptions. Marion, I cannot find a relative James Walsh on the 1881 census, he was either drinking guinness or had an alias. I am not recorded on last years census properly cos I was doing a night duty in a private house and went to fill it in and another nurse had already sent it off the week before! If that can happen in this century , what hope have we in finding our ancestors!
