Not to worry Julie, someone with a sub will post the full transcript before the hour's out! There are always so many willing people on here it will be a breeze.

I think that's the one George!!

Thank you very much =0)

Hi Lauren

Sub is short for subscription

rootgatherer

rootgatherer Report 25 Oct 2010 13:43

My apologies Lauren - a "sub" to be more correct and expressed in the Queen's English is a subscription.

The information that I posted was taken from the free search facility of the 1911 census but as you can see it doesn't give all the details.

George (who almost certainly has a subscription) has kindly posted all the details for you. As you can see, the difference is getting all occupations, marital status, relationship to head of household etc.

Good luck with your research and you will soon be as addicted as the rest of us!

Lauren

Lauren Report 25 Oct 2010 13:45

Thanks everyone for all your replies.

I feel silly now for not realising what sub meant :)

I am getting addicted already, my mum is even worse!! Lol.

Thanks again

Hi George,

I think I have found the names of the 2 children that died:

Ada Adelaide Denson born 1884 & Mary E Denson.

Can't find a death for either though. I wonder what happened to them.

Julie

Julie Report 25 Oct 2010 14:44

Ada is on the 1891 & 1901

I can't even find the birth for Mary.
