I advise always getting your information from the original page. Don't use the transcriptions, they're so full of errors. |

Are you looking at the original image, Hazel? If you are, John Smith is probably another person living on that street. So he will be one of the neighbours that appear when you click to look at Emma Williams' name on the census image. |

When you say "the information page" have you been looking at the census image? If so, it will give the names of everyone else on the page. |

The address is whre she is living and it should say what relation she is to the head of the house, and S for Single or M for Married. |

This is my first time on checking a census. I was searching for my Grandma Emma Williams in 1901. The information page gives her age etc and where she was born and then it says "address". Does this mean the address where she was born? Or, does it mean the address where she was living at the time of the census? Also, the top of the page refers to a different name of John Smith. Who is he? I didnt ask for information on a John Smith? Please can somebody help me to understand? |
