Hi

Does anyone have access o the 1911 census? I am trying to locate a Major Smith born 1904c in Redcar, Middlesborough. I have no idea what his parents were called.

Thanks in advance.

Leanne, is Major his first name or is he a Major in the Army? If the latter do you have an initial?

As he will be only 7 I guess it is his name , sorry.

Hi Ann,

Thanks for your speedy response - its his first name, unusual I know!

Maybe help having an unusual first name as Smith is so popular.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your help. It could be possible he was born in 1910 - I just went on some verbal information that may be incorrect.

I will have a look through the older censuses that I have access to.

Many Thanks
