SARAH’S TOP TIP

Get creative when searching for elusive 1921 census entries

This issue is packed with h my favourite tips, but I would like to highlight one for the 1921 census ( page 19). If you can’t find someone who is likely to be head of household in 1921, see iff they were head in 1911 – their handwriting might suggest how it might be mistranscribed. Also, to save money, only buy the original record as you can see a transcription when you hover over entries.
