You just beat me to it, but I thought it was Herbert Road. Although indexed as Falkers, its definitely Falkus on the handwritten sheet. Easy to read when you know what its supposed to be. Jan.

Just found this one too, also indexed as Falkers: Royal Marine Barracks, Alverstoke, Hants. Henry Falkus, Soldier, Single, 20, Private RMLI, born Middx London. Jan.

Sorry Jan, It might be Herbert - I'd love to know what the criteria was when they employed the census enumerators - you'd have thought handwriting would have been quite high on the list....but obviously not! Emma.

Many thanks it just beats me as how in 10 years they only aged 6 years except my ggrandfather Henry in the Royal Marines its sad he died in WW1 just before my nan born but tanks again to everyone Sally
