Hi Libby9

Thanks for information hope I am doing this right tonight
can you get 1911 cen as not sure if Frederick is the oldest
thanks

Libby22 Report 5 May 2009 21:31

Hi Sandra,

As I can't find them in 1911, I presume the family were living in Wales. The 1911 census for Welsh counties isn't yet available.

nannynan Report 5 May 2009 21:50

ebbw vale
I am doing it right tonight yes

Libby22 Report 5 May 2009 23:20

Yes, Sandra you are doing great tonight.

As I said, the welsh counties in 1911 haven't been put online yet. Therefore, at the moment you can't get any further forward.

Hi Sandra,

You're welcome. I can help you get further back with the Box's, but not further forward.
