thanks very much Kathleen I will have to have another look for the family then, I did get told that someone in the family thought they had seperated and his wife went off with someone else,

There are single strokes before and after his name, indicating that he is on his own. The address is 23 White X Place. Not sure why the X is there. Kath. x

Quite possibly because his wife and children, if any, were absent from the house on the evening the census was taken. He is shown as married, as opposed to a widower or single, so I think thats your best bet. Ian

That's what the image says. Perhaps his wife and any kids they may have were visiting relatives at the time of the census. He is definitely on his own as he is in the middle of the page. Kath. x

That is quite normal, often seen, but IF THE ENTRY IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE CLICK ON NEXT PAGE AS THE REST WILL BE THERE> Maurice
