Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	It seems interesting but i do not know this family, will have to check. The two children were taken on with different Dunham children but have checked them all and can find nothing, for 1921 or later. Kenneth went with Sidney Dunham and he came to Blackburn Lancashire where he met my mother, the family did not know about it, it was mentioned as a big secret, I only found out by hiring a genealogist in London who found the newspaper cutting for the suicide and his death certificate.At this time my mother had died so could not ask questions.

	Sidney Dunham 1889 Tottenham, Middlesex, England Rishton Blackburn Lancashire It says he's with Dunham - but I can't find who that is. Perhaps it's one of 1921's mistranscriptions.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 12,291 Send Message	Sorry Argyll but I think this is the Margery you found in 1921. Margery Adams 1910 Highbury, London, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex David Jones 1875 Holloway, London, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex Lily Ross 1879 Purton, Wiltshire, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex Norah Ross 1909 Clapton, London, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex Robert Ross 1874 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex Renie Ross 1909 Clapton, London, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex The Rosses in 1911 1911 Census For England & Wales 33 Lincoln Road Enfield, Enfield, Middlesex, England Household members (4 people) First name(s) Last name Relationship to head Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place Robert Henry Ross Head Married Male 37 1874 House painter Liverpool Lily Lavinia Ross Wife Married Female 32 1879 - Purton Wiltshire Reine Ross Daughter - Female 1 1910 - Clapton London Norah Ross Daughter - Female 1 1910 - Clapton London

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 12,291 Send Message	Argyll, I think this is the household you have got mixed up with for Margery. Edmund Adams 1859 Waltham Abbey, Essex, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex Ellen Adams 1858 Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex Lily Adams 1896 Kirton, Suffolk, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex Robert Alfred Rothwell 1881 Westminster, London, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex Anita Rothwell 1889 Argentina Enfield Edmonton Middlesex Margaret Anita Rothwell 1920 Enfield, Middlesex, England Enfield Edmonton Middlesex

	Oh yes, I think you're right, alviegal. By the hovering method: Margery is with Robert, Lily, and 3 others. Lily (I assumed she would be Adams) is with Robert Alfred, Anita and 3 others. Robert Alfred is with Anita, Margaret Anita and 3 others. Margaret Anita is with Anita, Robert Alfred & 3 others. Anita is with Robert Alfred, Margaret Anita & 3 others. I was knocked off track by assuming that Lily would be Lily Adams, and also .I was sure I'd seen Robert and Robert Alfred mentioned together in one of the hovered results - but must have been mistaken. It would be helpful if surnames were included in the hovered results! ADDED: However, Margery with the Ross household remains a possibility for Marjorie May.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	That would give away too much "Free" information AG - people might not have to pay FMP to see full results :-D

Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	I am not a subscriber of Find My Past now, I wanted to do 1921 census lookup but had difficulties because not a member of Find My Past. Or maybe I have got it wrong

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 6,519 Send Message	Sheila Everyone has to pay to see the 1921 census, even those with a sub to FMP. Although they get a little discount. This is why you haven’t been given the full details just the ‘hover’ result which you can do yourself.

Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	Sorry, thanks for everybody that has helped me, maybe it is I live abroad and got the wrong telephone Number

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 6,519 Send Message	Telephone number ? You access and pay on line via the 1921 section on FMP.

	No sub or membership required for the 1921 census, Sheila. (And certainly no telephone number.) https://www.findmypast.co.uk/1921-census A basic search is free. When you think you've found the person you're looking for, hover the cursor over the transcript/image symbol to the right of the search result. It will tell you how many people there were in the household, and give you the first names of up to two of them. It's often possible to figure out who the other members of the household are, by trial and error (error in my case with Margery above!), free of charge. However, if you want the address, or to see the whole household, then you pay-per-view for either the transcript or the image.

Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	I was trying to access the pay for view by my English debit card but it threw me out saying not got correct details and we had to ring them or the building society, I will try again. Thanks for trying, I found a Dorothy P Dunham 1916 with a number of relatives I knew and three others, now I know Marjorie left her something in her will, so I am wondering if this is the family she went to, she stopped in London

Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	Just to let you know I managed to get the Dorothy P Dunham family in 1921 but to no avail Marjorie was not on it. Back to the drawing board Thanks

	Strangely, there is no record in 1921 of 11 Bruce Grove, Tottenham
Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	Sheila	Report	29 Jul 2022 16:48
Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	That is where she was in 1922 when she died, I thought maybe in hospital in 1921 but also it mentions on death certificate 2 St Micheals Road, Wood Green?

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	One address may be where she died and the other where she was normally resident or maybe one was the address of the informant of the death.
Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	Sheila	Report	29 Jul 2022 22:23
Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 460 Send Message	The informant was her mother and she lived at 3 Crosby Terrace, Long Lane, Finchley
