Blake Household (4 People) 11 Arden Street , Gillingham M.B., Kent, England

First name(s) Last name(s) DOB Sex Occupation Marital status Schedule Schedule Sub Number
Edith E Blake 07 Oct 1885 Female No Occupation Incapacitated Married
Benjamin H Blake 27 Nov 1884 Male General Labourer Heavy Worker Married
Eileen M Still (Blake) 24 May 1925 Female Domestic Duties (Unpaid) Single
Winifred A Mclaren (Axe) 20 Sep 1919 Female Domestic Duties Unpaid Married <<<

Please look at the image - can anyone see Winifred's name visible, cos I can't!
As it happens, she is Benjamin & Edith's daughter & the married names for her match. No need to go off hunting for other records. She died 2006

EDIT -
Well, that's strange - I can ONLY see Winifred's name on the original - she is a No. 4 if I ask the 1939 to search for her

Almost the whole page is closed records - only 4 other names on the page

However if i search for Benjamin, then her name is closed!

What a strange entry - glad its not just me. Perhaps that what happens when someone requests an entry to be opened?

Thank for that

If you have both pages side by side, they are not the same page. The one with Benjamin etc showing starts at 1 Arden St and goes 3, 5, 5A, 7, 11, 19, 21,23,29,31,33,35
You can go to the next page here and it starts at 64 High St (see below)

and the one with Winifred showing has addresses 9 Cross St, 74 Arden St, 64 High St, 23 Bretton Farm and then 11 Arden Street

Am not going to try to check it anymore - have gone cross eyed trying .............


Weird !!!!!!!

How strange! Thanks for taking the time - when mine aren't so crossed, I'll have another look tomorrow and try and send a correction.
