According to the 1901 census they should be in Escrick. George

The details are what they should be in 1891. George

did you find them? George

Hi I've now discovered that there would have been a 7yr old daughter Rose, 5yr old Walter and a 3yr old called Arthur in the household so could you try those names. All born Escrick. Thank you George

I want to scream, my ancestors seem to like evading me. I can only assume that their surname has been mistranscribed or they were missed off. George

The only thing I can suggest is doing a first name search if its possible putting in something like Rose, aged 7/8yrs, b Escrick,Yorks And seeing what it comes up with. George

Email received. I am certain that they were living in Yorkshire, most likely in Escrick. Thanks George
