I just bought my Grandma's census entry. She is one of 12 children so the family don't appear on the 1 page. To save buying the first page of the census, click on filmstrip, then extra materials to get the other page, plus cover pages and other stuff I haven't looked at yet.

Looking at the images and comparing the handwriting to the signature I don't think my great grandfather filled in the form. The census looks like it is completed in pencil and his signature in a black pen. The handwriting is also consistent with the writing on the other pages ie title pages.

Yes, the ones I looked at looked like the enumerator had filled them in.

Just a quick question do i need a subscription for FMP to view the 1921 census, to where my Great grandfather was living, still no nearer to finding who is parents were.

No, you don't - it's pay per view.

All you need is a free account and then the charges will come up when you want to view an entry. Try not to pay until you are sure the entry is the right one, and you will probably be best to pay for the image, not the transcription.

You're good. Zoe didn't even state his name. (Yes, I'm sure she has mentioned him elsewhere but you remembered.)

Merry thank you so much, as KIt has already said you're good!, even though i didn't mentioned the name of my great grandfather, but i guess who could forget me looking for my elusive great grandfather Edward Jones.
