Re: 1911 census

REDFERN, Alfred (of 5/5 Matthew St, born ~).
Baptised June 2, 1909, by S R N Rees at St Jude, Moorfields.
Parents name(s) are Ellen & George (Bolt heater).
REDFERN, George (of 39 Matthew St, born ~).
Baptised August 26, 1907, by S R N Rees at St Jude, Moorfields.
Parents name(s) are Ellen & George (Labourer).

For what it is worth, both those Matthew Street addresses have records on the 1911 census and the occupants are not Redferns

I am like a dog with a bone..... LOL.

I can`t find a marriage for a Redfern-Young. BUT I noticed that some on the children were registered under YOUNGE back in Sheffield.

Could that be the mystery George & Sarah were not married.
They are in our burial index by the way. City Road Cemetery.

Sooooo íf George was born in the USA in 1883 they were back in Sheffield for Alfreds birth in Dec qtr 1885.

Another observation..... on the 1901 census there is a child called Emily aged 4mths. No Emily registered at the GRO but an Amelia MMN Young.

Hi Elaine

George Redfern married Sarah Young in Sheffield in 1876 - George's surname was recorded as Redford in error.

Re: 1911 census

Dave, well found on that regarding addresses as my thought was that they were missing hence why we could not find the family.

I wonder if George ran his own business and if so would the info be in a Kellys?

Going back to the 1921 census, who did George work for?

Re: 1911 census

Hi John,George was a Boiler Firer at Forge and Rolling Mills Cap. L.T.D at Milsands Sheffield Thanks Janette

Re: 1911 census

An interesting item!!
"By far the biggest cause of people missing from the 1911 census was civil disobedience. As part of the protest against the government’s continued refusal to grant women the vote, the suffragettes organised a mass boycott of the census."

Re: 1911 census

Thanks Denise for the nudge. This family certainly were unfortunate how their surname was written. LOL

Re: 1911 census

Seems my grandad was a mystery in 1911 thanks Janette

Re: 1911 census

That is interesting Dave, I wonder if any of them got fined for not completing the census as surely even in those days it was a legal requirement.

Re: 1911 census

John
No woman was fined. Google it

Re: 1911 census
