That means there is over 600 people on the census that aren't going to be traceable by us. Makes you think doesn't it. Also, I wonder if the enumerator just hazarded a guess as to age before the barge passed, as you would more likely ask name before age would't you? The people with lodgers who don't know their names is also a little worrying. Did they just pick them off the street? Or take in any wandering waif or stray? merry xmas everyone Kim |

Perhaps the Nk family just have lots of relatives? |

Dwelling: Barge In...Gone....? Maybe the enumerator couldn't understand them if they had a strong accent, or perhaps foreign names threw them? |

Frimley has only one bridge! over the railway line. The nearest bridge I can think that NK NK slept on is in Frimley Green up where Lakeside International Hotel now stands. The Basingstoke Canal runs Past Frimley Green, I 've walked up and down it many times! Nk And his family I wonder who they really were ????? What a nightmare for anyone wishing to trace a rely..... Keren in Frimley |

Keren, Maybe they stopped off at Johnson & Johnson, got a quick powder puff and were in Basingstoke before the enumerator got there!!! What a way to avoid the census though! go from lock to lock! Kim |

Maybe the barge was called Frimley Bridge? Trouble is, it was gone so there was noone to ask.......! |
