Does anyone have any ideas why I cant find my grandmother in the 1911 census? Have found her family but not her, she would be 23yrs, she married in 1920 so her name wouldnt of changed?
Any Ideas?
Thanks

At 23 and unmarried she may well have been working in service, maybein another area - perhaps one that has not been transcribed yet? Or, she may be working somehwere nearby and you haven't found her because her name has been typed wrong. Try some variations.

Bugger, none of them Dents born in Norfolk.
A big thank you though for your time.

I'd say try again when they have more counties up, hopefully she'll appear then!

Not sure you would know where they were born without looking at the original page. The index shows place of residence.

You can put Norfolk in Place of Birth to save credits.

This is a Dent born St Germans, 1911 census:

DENT LENA F 1891 20 St Marylebone London

Do you think Lena is Madelaine/Madeline?
