Hello all -

I've been hunting for this family in the 1921 census, but can't see any of them.
Fresh eyes might see something I've missed, if you feel like having a look.
Thanks!


It's only 1921 I'm interested in, thanks, so I'm not listing the children born after that.

Parents:
Percy Daniel Gascoigne, 14/9/1888 North Newington, Oxon - 1954 Luton.
Phyllis Lizzie (nee Boffin), 29/5/1893 Bodicote, Oxon - 1958 Luton

They married in 1912 in Bodicote.

Children born up to 1921:

Winifred Jessie Elizabeth Gascoigne, 1913 Bodicote.
Dorothy Ethel May Gascoigne, 11/1/1915 Bodicote .
Amy Florence Ellen Gascoigne, 17/4/1916 Bodicote.
Leonard William Edward Gascoigne, 1919 Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire

They had another 6 children after 1921.
In case the location is any help, in May 1922 their son Albert Frederick was registered in Amersham, Bucks.

In 1939, and on 1938 ER, Phyllis and children were in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, where Phyllis lived for the rest of her life.
Percy was in Guildford - with his brother James and family in 1939, and lodging at another Guildford address in 1938.

They were back together in the early 1950s, in Dunstable, until Percy's death.

But - I can't see any of them in 1921, in England, Wales , or Scotland.
