Trying to find Aylott

Lorna Yes she is listed as the wife. If you go to the 1901 census site http://www.census.pro.gov.uk and do an advanced person search Click on the advanced place search button. Enter the civil parish as St Alban (note, no S at the end) and the surname as Aylott and do the search. This gives you a list of all the Aylotts living in St Albans. By clicking the right mouse hand button over the name of each person and selecting 'properties' from the menu this gives you a person id for that person. Each person in the same household has a successive person id starting with Benjamin at 13969603 and ending with Florence at 13969609. Ellen Aylott who comes up in the search is not in the same household, all the others are. (Though it is interesting that she comes from Oldham as well). I know that Benjamin is the head of the household since I did another search with his name, civil parish of St Alban and Relation to head of family set as Head. With Susan, I put her name in, civil parish of St Alban and put the relation to head of family as Wife and her record came up. Again, you can do the same thing to confirm that Alice, Edith, Daisy and Florence are all daughters and that John is the son. This is as much information as one can gather without paying the money and looking at the actual census image. This is worth doing, as, sometimes, the transcribers have made mistakes and transcribed some of the details incorrectly. So Benjamin may not be Benjamin or he may have a second name that may have been John (which is perhaps what he usually called himself) and vice versa. Hope that helps
