Anyone able to do a census lookup for William Blunden born in Buriton, resident in Southampton, Shirley in 1901 with his sister in law Alice Worsfo(u)ld and 3 children. Am planning to visit Southampton briefly next week so would love an address for where they lived. Many hopeful thanks in advance :-)

Grace's re-marriage perhaps ?


Marriages Mar 1911

Blunden Grace M Southampton 2c 11
House Herbert E Southampton 2c 11
Lucas Charles H Southampton 2c 11
Marshall Lydia W Southampton 2c 11



***EDIT
Probably not as this looks to be her in 1911 as a widow ? (though William is listed as married in 1911 living with his sister in law !! )

Maybe some of the children were to Grace and some to Alice ( both would have Worsfold as mother's maiden name )

Thank you one and all - yes that's him. He was always a character shrouded in mystery as no-one spoke about him and now I think I understand why - I think that Grace listing herself as widow was wishful thinking! ( the 2 youngest children were as far as I know Alice's )
