The 1921 census was taken 19thJune 1921

Was originally meant to be 24th April but was delayed because of industrial action being taken at that time

Would still have missed listing young Alan though

Wow, that's interesting Erika, we don't have a lot of info about them, just what I have picked up from freebmd and familysearch..Do you know if there is a register of Railway workers in England.?? Grandad Marsh worked on Retford Station after he came back from WW1 until he passed away in 1964?

Teresa Report 1 Jul 2023 16:47

Thank-you Shirley.
Never heard of my Gran speaking of him and Mum only knew there had been another brother, my oldest brother was named after him though.

No info for Thomas as far as I can see
