I have tried to find the 1901 cunsus returns for the whereabouts of my grandparents, I have tried every combination of name spelling and place spelling, but they are nowhere to be found. Please what am I doing wrong????? Sane, at the moment, Kathlyn

Kathlyn, you're probably doing nothing wrong. It's highly likely they're mis-transcribed.

Or their name just hasnt been indexed. Have been looking for my grandad & his first wife & two children, just couldnt find them no matter how much we played with his name. My cousin finally found them by trawling around the Hackney area & surrounding districts & there they were in shoreditch!! no problem on their names as the original census form was clearly & neatly written. Took hours tho she said!!. Shirley

Hi new Cuz!! Just about to mail you when I saw your name on here!! If it's John and Kate, then I can see them in 1901 - John is down as Mauderley, age 28. If its your 'other side' lol then I have no idea as I don't have their names!!! Will try and send you that e-mail now - have got the proof that we are definitely related and can confirm Amelia's father's name and place of birth for you!!! Maz. XX
