Could some kind person look up 1911 census for Percy Canham born October Quarter 1907 Holbeach District. I believe he was the son of Herbert Canham and Sybil Maud Swann. I have them on the 1911 census with their daughter Sybil May living at Gedney Drove End, but Percy is not with them.
Thankyou. Pat

Penny - thanks for this - yes John and Herbert were brothers. I also had a Sidney as the son of Herbert and Sybil, but now I know he was the son of Herbert's brother John and his wife Annie and that Herbert's son Percy who was living was living with Herbert's brother John on the 1911 census (being a nephew).
Choccy - thanks for copy of 1911 - that has explained things a little better.
