Help me find Zusman!

[Little Nell]

Thank you for looking, Craig.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Merry, you can't leave the first name blank, its a required field but on the advanced search you can opt for a "name beginning with" so I trawled thru the alphabet.

I've been leaving the first name blank or the surname blank nearly all the time! One OR the other is required!! (or the census reference)

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

I can't find him either Nell (in 1911)

[Little Nell]

and Jill

[Little Nell]

thanks for looking Merry
I will have to wait until the new search arrives which will let you use * in place of first initial.

[Uncle John]

I will have to wait until the new search arrives which will let you use * in place of first initial.

I thought we'd already had this discussion and someone came up with inserting *a*, *e*, *i*, *o*, *u*, *y* one at a time, on the basis that first names will always (!) have a vowel or a y in them.

[Little Nell]

But 1911 census won;t let me do this.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

I just looked up everyone called Hart (no first name) b 1853 +/-3 in Middlesex and then in London etc.

Why do we need to put anything in the forename box?

[BC]

Have you tried spelling the surname Susman ? I have a German ancestor way back whose name began with ' Z ' but got altered ( permanently) to starting with ' S '.

[Little Nell]

Merry, thanks. BC, just looked, not there.

I think the Hart name must have been mangled too. Wish I'd given this to Dave when I was at Kew on Friday!!!

[Little Nell]

Aha!

From Freebmd:

Marriages Dec 1916 Hart Zuesman Head Paddington 1a214

[Little Nell]

But if this is him, it just tells me he was definitely alive in 1911, so why can't we find him?

have you just tried Zuesman? as a search criteria Nell?

failing that I would Email thingy wotsit you saw last week and ask his help

[margaretmarch]

Isn't it the case that not all the household forms were available to be included in the current publication of the 1911 and that more information will come through from the enumerators schedules when that is transcribed?

I've tried every combination! I don't want to presume on "thing wotsit" (Dave Annal to those in the know).

Margaret - I don't understand?

[kylejustin]

are you sure he's in a transcribed county nell? there is a lot of counties that arn't online yet.

they did say not all 1911 census transcriptions survived too. maybe his was missing?

[Little Nell]

Well, I expect to see him in London, but you could be right, Kylejustin! I think there's hardly any of 1911 missing, but I'll have to wait and see if he's elsewhere.
