I have just gone back and looked, he was not the only one in the house, there were 4, but none were Simon, nor was there a Simon in 2 images on either side! Transcriber brain-f**t! (the site does not like the word ****!)

Were the others in the household transcribed correctly?

Yes, they are all more or less fine, or at least as good as the handwriting, they are all boarders or servants so I am not 100% sure what the names are, but I am sure that Dudley looks nothing like Simon!

I am surprised by the number of servants people had living in, in 1921. Maybe it was just in big drafty vicarages, but most would have at least one.

People still had live-in servants. My grandparents and mother are in Portsmouth and they have a 17-year-old general domestic servant living with them. He was an officer in the RN but not wealthy.

My great-great-grandmother had a live-in servant and my great-grandmother was visiting friends (retired chemist) who also had a live-in servant.

I have just taken out a Premium sub which includes the 1921 census, and now when I search, it doesn't show me the names of the other people in the household if I hover the cursor over the transcript / image icons - I have to actually click through to view to find out who else is in the household. Is that the same for everyone who has that sub, or am I doing something wrong? It seems to me it would be much quicker to move the cursor down the list looking at the names before deciding what to click on.

Same here, I'm afraid. I agree it'd be more convenient if the mouseover would show the names.

Thanks, Mary.
