When the 1911 census came out back in 2009 I got a transcriptionof the pratt family. I am with ancestry but I cannot find the original document with them also none of the Pratt details I search for do not show.
I have searched the street address from transcript, house by house but no show???
the transcript details are-

Pratt Ellen Lousie Married 51/2 F 26 Woodchopper Camberwell
Pratt George William Son M 2 camberwell

Address 6 Hatcham Road,Peckham, Camberwell SE. county London
District Camberwell, Subdistrict Peckham North.

Glad for any help Ken ( Lawyer should read Sawyer.)

Good one, Andrew!
I had a look at it. No reason for that mistranscription, the original is clearly Pratt.

Excellent Find
That's them, just shows how bad some of the transcriptions are and they probly charged me dear for it.
Lawyer - Sawyer / Lousie - should be Louisa.

I knew Hatcham road was in right area as daughters birth was in Penarth road
nearby .
Many thanks I can now donload a copy

easy spelling mistake to make ............

I have a couple of Louise / Louisa in my trees, and commonly find them mis-spelled on all kinds of documents, and by their parents.

For that reason, I only look for Lou* ........... that covers all bases :-)



I even manage to mis-spell Sylvia on occasion :-D
