Er so why have I been looking for Arthur then? lol

So it wasn't just a moment of madness on the census form then!

I see he died back in Islington with his real name. Very odd really. How did you come to look at this Race couple?

And she was Marrion Field?

The other people with the Races in 1911 are Elizabeth Mary Bristow (Owen / Fred's mother, my 2xg-grandmother) and her grandchildren Ruby Marion Bristow and Reginald Hugh Bristow (no doubt you recognise that name!) Those 3 are listed as boarders rather than relatives, but the Races' details match my missing Bristow couple so closely that I suspect it's them under a false name. If I knew for sure that the Races existed then I would know to keep looking for Owen and Marion, that's why I was trying to find Arthur Race anywhere else, Joan.

Hold on a minute! Who is Owen? So are we looking for an Arthur, a Frederick or an Owen? Let alone the surname ??

Mary Ann Marrion Field Cohen. I only found out the M stood for Marrion when I looked at their marriage cert in the LMA records! Until then I thought she called herself Marion because of her name being Mary Ann.

Sorry, Joan, his real name was Owen Ferrier Besant Bristow, but he calls himself Fred or Frederick on most censuses.
