Hi, looking for Anthony Dixon in the 1911 Census - born Bradford, West Yorkshire in 1874.

I don't really know much else about him.

Is he definitely still alive in 1911?
How did you get back to him?
Thanks

Added:
How did you find his birth?

Thank you Patchem; his parents are Catherine (b 1846) and Anthony Dixon (they married in Bradford in 1873).

He is a cousin of my ancestors. So, I am sorry but I don't know anything more than he was born in Bradford in 1874 (from 1881 Census).

Thank you! That is my bad. Yes, Thomas Dixon - excuse me. Does he appear on the 1901? And then 1891 one?

Sorry to ask but I suppose it is a common name and I would like to be more sure that this is the correct one.

Thank you.

Now I do know Thomas Dixon had a sister, Annie Mary Dixon born 1880 in Langton, Yorkshire, but can't see a marriage for an Arthur Ind with a Dixon.

patchem Report 6 Oct 2012 21:51

The probably wrong Dixon marriage:
Marriages Sep 1894
Dixon Thomas Bradford, Y. 9b 244
Ind Fanny Mary Bradford, Y. 9b 244

Peter Report 6 Oct 2012 21:55

Ah ok - would it be worth looking for Annie Mary Dixon or is the name too common?
