I have looked on all the programs, GR, Ancestry and Find my past and I can't find the Jempson family that lived in Tonbridge (poss the plough, Leigh). I can find them in 1891 but not 1901, the dad, mum sisters etc, why could this be?...holiday perhaps? Names included are Noel, Ruth, Thomas, Mary and George, plus a few more.

Could anyone shed any light?

Thanks, Alison

Alison,

Always a good idea to post census details such as 1891, especially when they are mistranscribed, as that gives the members who try to help some idea of the ages and locations etc
