|    How to find a family probably on holiday    |
|    29 Aug 18 07:55:46    |
      From: chris@dickinson.uk.net              I can't find a family in 1911 that appears in previous censuses. This census       was, I understand, taken 02-04-1911, so a Spring break seems entirely possible.              They are wealthy, and the head of the family died in 1912 (so a possible       'health' holiday). The eldest daughter, now married, was with her husband in       what looks like a holiday 'cottage' in Brockenhurst, Hampshire.              So, are there sources that might give an answer? I'm not subscribed to       FindMyPast, etc., but know that I have to take the plunge eventually to pick       up on things like this - and this might influence my subscription.              In case any of you feel like searching, the family are (all born and resident       in Leek): George Davenport, aged 58, his wife Sarah, aged 53, and his two       daughters (Ina Frances, aged 19, and Margaret/Margot,aged 18). I know about       their past and futures, so        please don't waste your time in looking that up (unless you find Ina when she       reputedly ran away as a teenager to join a circus!)              Those of you who have long memories may remember helping me out ten years ago       on the 'bouncing Ina' in this thread:              https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/soc.genealogy.britain       ina$20frances$20davenport%7Csort:date/soc.genealogy.britain/qNbN       HB7THo/rh5zanG6ClMJ              or here:              https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/genbrit@rootsweb.com/thread/2864729/                     Thanks,              Chris              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
