If someone was in the regular army when the 1901 census was taken would they still have been registered and if so where? What age could a person join the army at that time? Pat |

They'd be on the census probably residing at a barracks. The age would be 17/18, although many young men bumped up their age so they could join. Deb:) |

If the person was serving overseas - in the Boer War - for example, there would not be a census record. Reg |
