  • 1911 mystery

    Would appreciate your thoughts please ....

    I've tried endless variations of his name as well as variations of surname and even wildcard using . (fullstop)

    His occupation in 1901 and on his death cert = bricklayers labourer.
    In 1911 he would be aged approx 52, so too old to be in the army.

    Where do you think he may have been?

    He may be in a county that hasn't been transcribed yet. There are still quite a few to go.

      Hi Tracy - sort of been thinking along those lines myself ... will have to wait for other counties to come on-line.

      Did wonder if he was in hospital or some other institution ...??

        If he is in hospital or something, he should be on the transcripts.

        Have you had a look at the image for his wife? It might give more info of his whereabouts.

            :( No mention of him on census image, wonder if they'd had a tiff and he was living elsewhere ???

              If he was in an institution he may be registered under his initials.

                Might he have been working away from home?

                  If he was a bricklayer, then he would travelling to wherever building was going on, if there wasn't enough work where he lived. He might be in lodgings somewhere, with a whole load of other bricklayers. If he didn't enter the details himself, then you probably won't get the correct birthplace - it may just be the county - and there may be more chance of his name being misspelled.

                      just had another go .... tried searching for;

                      Benson / bricklayer
                      Benson / labourer
                      Ben*on - just trawling through 618 possibilities !! (lol ... just amended search to E Ben*on, only 48 to look through now)

                      left out place of birth and dob, but still no luck

                      maybe he's working at one of the counties not yet transcribed .............
                      :(
