what will your rellies find when they look for you on census,

mine is 1971 Buckinghamshire, 1981 buckinghamshire but different town, 1991 East Sussex, married and Secretary, 2001 East Sussex, different address 2 children housewife, 2011 will be totally different part of country with 3 children although one might of left home by then.

I doubt that mine would find me. 1961 living overseas 1971 Kent 1981 living overseas 1991 livng overseas 2001 Gloucestershire and I thought some of my ancestors moved around a lot! Pete

The places I lived won't but they might get a bit confused when they see the religion I put down on 2001 census. Naughty me didn't realise how important the census was at the time.

Jackie you have to tell us now lol

Were you anything like us, we put Jedi down for our religion! as did most of our friends. Sandra

You have it right Sandra it was Jedi Knight, my mum went balistik when she found out and called me a blithering idiot. I blame it on Chris Moyles he told me to do it lol

won't be my place of living that will confuse just the surnames LOL 1981 home with maiden name 1991 at future inlaws but still maiden name no children 2001 living in own place still in maiden name but living with partner and four kids - all kids with my maiden name. 2011, well I'll prob be here still!!! am now married and any of the kids if still at home will have our married name!!! I never appeared in my first married name, the real problem will be trying to find my daughters birth record, as she never actually appears in any census with her orginal registered name. By 2011, in theory she could've left home and married as well!!! Boys also might be a prob as their orginal entry was in my maiden name but you now can not buy that copy, you'll be refered to the re-registration... so actually theirs won't be too hard. well why should i make it easy... no one has made it easy for me LOL

'61 Derbyshire.......that bit was easy! '71 Glos but at school in Lincs '81 Hillingdon Middx ..married '91 Ealing Middx seperated back to maiden name (at times) 2001 East Sussex still under married name 2011 Will be a differently country and different name. Upps good job there is no kids ......so I will always be the aunty that got lost lol Jac

Mine won't be too bad untill the 2001 census, even though I lived in Warwickshire and Germany inbetween. 1971 Shropshire with parents. 1981 Shropshire with parents. 1991 Shropshire own house with maiden name as I went back to it after divorce. 2001 Moved to USA just before census and was too late for USA census as it was 2000. 2010 Michigan USA. New name.

I will be in UK each time...quite hiding the fact that I lived overseas for quite some time between the census dates. Gwyn

Mine is . 1961.. Stevenage Hertfordshire 1971.. Edgware... Middlesex 1981 Edgware....Middlesex 1991Denbighshire 2001.. Denbighshire hazelx

Pretty straightforward I think 1951 At home in Coventry with parents - maiden name used 1961 Depends when census done as married in 18 March that year. If before 18 still in Coventry with parents. If after 18 March living Warwickshire. 1971 Back to Coventry living on own with child - married name. 1981 Same as previous census. 1991 Now living on own. 2001 Back into Warwickshire

I honestly dont remember filling in 3 census forms. I know I did one in 1981 but cant remember doing any since although I must have done. Okay so we now have 4 years to think what we will put on the next one. Thinking caps on.........

To be honest, they will think I stayed pretty much where I was lol Its not true though 1961 - Ely, Cambridgeshire Between, West Ham London, New Milton Hampshire, Bingley Hampshire, PenSelwood Somerset, back to Bingley Hants, back to Ely, then to Littleport Cambs, then to Little Downham 1971 - Little Downham Between, back to Ely, then Witchford, then Little Downham 1981 - Little Downham 1991 - Braintree Essex 2001 - Braintree Essex Between, Attleborough Norfolk, then Norwich 2 addresses so far! 2011 will probably find me still in Norwich!

ooooooooo TW I was born in Ely

Mine will be dead boring and easy. 1951-1971 in Romford with parents. 1981-2001 (and probably 2011 as well) here with wife and up to two children.

Sadly the RAF is no more, its the Princess of Wales hospital, mostly for primary care of the elderly. Seems wrong somehow. You should go to Ely, I often do as my mum still lives there.

Really Dawn? At the RAF hospital? Thats where I had my two children.

Yep, dad was based at Marham and mum was in hospital for 3 months before I was born. Always say I will go to Ely one day just to say I have been to the place I was born as never been back
