Riddel in Haslingden 1911

[Uncle John]

Using free searches on FMP and GR I've found Jessie Riddel (b 1857) and her son Charles (b 1895 Russia) living in Haslingden in 1911. I can't find her in the enumerators' schedules on Ancestry so I assume they were lodgers. Could SKS please find the enumeration district and schedule number for me. I can then find the householder's return on Ancestry.

It's an interesting family - her husband spent most of his working life abroad running thread factories for J & P Coats subsidiaries.

The enumeration district is 11

schedule 279

(took me ages to find the schedule no.) lol

edit: I'm not sure that's right now, how on earth do you find anyone in 1911 on Ancestry? I'm glad I've got FMP

Many thanks both. Off to find it now.

Help! Ancestry selects sub district 3 when I select Haslingden. It doesn't have nearly enough schedule numbers. I've managed to identify that SD1 is Rawtenstall and SD2 is Bacup. I can't find RD471 SD4 at all.

I haven't tried Ancestry's 1911 stuff yet, but would it make a difference that Jessie Riddel is living in Accrington (which has 30 enumeration districts :D) and Haslingden is just the name of the whole Reg District?

You'll need civil parish - Accrington. Then Enumeration District 11, image 558.

Thanks a lot folks. I was desperately sticking pins in Streetmap. Accrington is miles away! Oswaldtwistle is on the outskirts of Accrington, but comes under Blackburn RD!

[Uncle John]

Bingo! And it even gives the son's employer (crossed out).
