Name is Walter W Polden Have on 1881 census as Baby Polden born 1881 in Winterbourne Stoke on 1891 census as being born ab 1882 and on 1901 as a lodger born ab 1882 N.K probably just a coincidence, not such an unusual name I suppose. Only just starting out on all this and am already totally confused !!

Might they be listed on several census returns?? Sometimes people remember once and forget the rest of the time! lol Merry

What year were they born if after 1837- if an unusual name combination you could search the GRO index.

Does anyone know what N.K. means when it is listed as a place of birth? Would you think it might mean Not Known??
