Not sure why I can't find my grandfather on the 1911 census. |

Hi Island - yes, I have the birth cert, but why isn't he on the 1911 census as he would have been about 10 years old? |

This may be him, mistranscribed as Ceesford, staying with Charles & Eliza Swell. |

Thanks everyone for replying to this! ChristinaLancashire - Wow - you may have solved a riddle I've had for ages! I've often wondered what happened to Eliza Charlotte Steed (Lilla's mother) when her husband William Steed died early. Looks like she may have married again! Will have to check this out! |

Oh dear, that looked so good as well.....I still think that Stanley Ceesford is my Stanley Casbard, but the Eliza Charlotte Swell on the 1911 is not my Eliza Charlotte Steed. Having checked the 1901 census, there is an Eliza C Swell living as wife of Charles Oliver and there is another Eliza Steed living in London, which I know is my Eliza. However they both come from Lavenham and the birth dates are very similar. |

Just been checking through some old photographs that I inherited when family members died and I have a photo of the Cricketers Public House in Warborough. There is a large group of people sitting outside, one of which I'm certain is my Grandad. |

I don't believe it! I only checked the marriages from 1901 onwards because I thought the Eliza Steed in London was mine, obviously not! Didn't therefore think of looking for anything as far back as 1896. Brilliant. |
