A search in 1911 census please
Could someone tell me who lived at 18 Alexandra Road, Reading, Berkshire when the census was taken. Thanks
I don’t have a name, that’s why I’m asking.

As far as I can make out from searching two different sites, there is no entry for that number on either the census pages or the census summary. It jumps from 16 to 22.

Ancestry has erolls for Reading and they have Charles Slaughter living at that address in 1911.

He's at number 13 on the 1911 census.

Thank you all very much.
A friend has found some old photos of people - and the writing on them says they were taken at that address, but no surnames given. He’ll be delighted to get a step further.

He's regularly listed as at numbers 23 and 13. 23 up to 1911 and 13 several years both sides of 1911. I'm wondering if the entry for 1911 (18) has the wrong number printed?

Name: Charles Slaughter Residence Date: 1911 Street Address: 18 Alexandra Road,Reading Residence Place: Berkshire, England Parliamentary Division: Newbury It looks like he had a business at 35 Essex Street or the other way around its the qualifying address! I can only find one 35 Essex Street in London which is law chambers but maybe that Essex Street has been renamed. Edit: looks like there is one in Reading. https://addressesandpostcodes.co.uk/...g-rg2-0eh.html On the 1911 census a family called Purver lived there. Last edited by maggie_4_7; 16-10-21 at 11:59. |

On the 1911 census unless those pages are missing it jumps from 16 to 22 it looks like 18 and 20 didn't exist.

On 1901 it isn't there 17, 19, 21, 22 and 23 so you may be right its been renumbered and who ever wrote on those photographs probably put the number that is was when they wrote it not realising although it was the same house it was a different number when the photographs were taken.
