Hi can anyone help I am trying to trace this family I have the on the 1911 census living in Chapel Hill, Ambleside Westmorland. I would like to find out more about them because my relatives Catherine Horan and Alice Horan boarded with them there. If possible it would be good if I could find out the number of the cottage on Chapel Hill as it isnt stated on the census.

If the house isn't numbered on the census......it didn't have a number

And what 'more' do you wish to know?

Their marriage will be on freebmd.................which will give you Hannah's maiden name

If your relatives were only boarders in their home, they aren't in any way connected to you

If you wanted to spend some money you could buythe birth certificate of the youngest child on the census just to see if a house number is given (that's if they were living at the same place) although I tend to think there won't be a number otherwise they would have given it in the address when the census form was signed by George Atkinson.

This is the reference for the child's birth certificate:-


Name: ATKINSON, Gwendoline M
Registration district: Kendal
County: Westmorland
Year of registration: 1910
Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 10B
Page no: 747
