HELP!! please anyone...
My gran's school leaving certificate/labour certificate states that in 1905 she was residing at 22 Wharf Street (Burslem, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire)
This is not her family home. Her parents are on the 1901 census and the 1911 at the right place 64 Ricardo Street, Burslem where they remained till the late 1920's. On census night 1901 Gran and her brother were not at home, they were with their Ackerley grandparents at a different address.
To get a clue as to why Gran was in Wharf Street, I went off to the 1901 census to see who was living at 22 Wharf Street. A relative possibly? I know it was not either set of grandparents as I have their entries.
I eventually tracked down the correct enumerator's book (ancestry version) for the even numbered side of Wharf Street and then ...
... page 25 of the book goes up to no.14 Wharf Street and page 26 starts at no.30. What's happened to nos. 16 to 28??
I've tried the adjoining books just in case the enumerator decided to jink up a wee side close and got the numbers out of order. But no joy.
Does anybody have access to a different version of this census to see if they can solve the mystery of the occupants of no.22.
The occupants of no.30 were Henry Baker age 34 born Staffs. Stoke and his wife Harriet age 30 born Warwicks. Birmingham and their family Edith M., May F. and Herbert all born Staffs. Burslem and Henry's brother Edward J born Staffs. Stoke.
