1911 help to search please ASAP - Genealogists' Forum

I was about to put my MFMM on the new toggg thread and realised that although she died in 1931 I hadn't got her, or her husband, on the 1911 census.

So I toddled off to look - and just as well, my 70 credits run out in 2 days

But I can't find either of them - I have to admit that I haven't done any census searches for ages so am pretty rusty (FTM does the searches for you

)

Can anyone have a go please?

or her husband

Mmmmmmmmmm.
playing hard to get

Taken me ages to find the 1881 for ref- they are well mis-spelled!

Thanks for looking Jess - I've been trying for an hour and I haven't come near either of them
*sobs quietly*

Oh, I just noticed, in 1901 - she said she was born in West Ogwell

They were still in Ilsington in 1902 - I've got their daughter's marriage cert

Haven't had any luck so far

I can't find them at all, even with an address search.

Thanks - well the good news for me then is that they really are being difficult and it's not just me that can't find them

Why on earth does he not come up in the search?? I started going through the children and there he was!

Where is Elizabeth - I bet she is with one of the other children!

Just for the record, Caroline Cocks and family are still in the Newton Abbot area in 1911:
