Smith 1901 census mystery

Please can anyone help? I found my great-aunt Louise A Smith (born Wilts, Wroughton 1875) and her husband George B Smith, clothier, born Surrey, Ewell, aged 30 in the 1901 census at 210 White Post Lane, East Ham, Essex. Also there according to the transcript was daughter Olive M Smith aged 11, born Wimbledon. Now I know they did have a daughter Olive, but I don't think she would be 11 in 1901, possibly 11 months or maybe 1 year. So I looked at the original document but she wasn't there at all!! George and Louise are at the very bottom of the page, so was there another sheet with Olive's name on it?. If so, how can I get to see that?( I can't find any of the family in the 1911 census, except another daughter Jessie Eunice who was staying with her grandparents in Swindon). Also I know Olive and Jessie had a brother David but I can't find him at all; am getting nowhere with BMD either. - Wish they weren't called SMITH ! Any help would be much appreciated. Nicky |

Looked on the next page for Olive and she is a daughter at the same address but it looks like her age is 1 with a tick next to it so it does also look like 11. |

Yes I am stupid - I've just seen your note re clicking small arrows at the top. Thanks |

I've been trying the arrows at the top of the page but it won't go on to the next page and I notice the page is marked 1/1 - but there obviously must have been a second page. Anyway, thanks for advice. |

Nicky, are you viewing the census through GR credits? I believe they only allow you one page at a time. |

Yes it must be because I am looking at 1901 via GR and presumably am not allowed to look at the next page. I don't subscribe to Ancestry. |

Maureen thank you - but my family are called SMITH, not Cook. |

Um-my point was that Olive is on the same page as the COOK family,so if you find them,you'll see her! |

But the Hartley Witney lot look possible - thanks, I'll see if I can find them and see if they tie up. |

YES !!!!!! Thank you all so VERY VERY much - that's definitely the family in Fleet in Hampshire , so that's where they were in 1911 - plus it's given me some very useful leads for finding the children in BMD. |

1901 she should be 1 the tick has made it look like another 1 beside her age of 1 |
