1911 ~ I did have this on FMP but now can not find her on Ancestry
FMP says there’s a server error but she’s not coming up anyway

The 1911 entry was odd. Filled in by Jane but she gives her husband as Henry ... that should have been her son

Is it the family at 1 Capel, Tonbridge, Kent in 1911?
Henry Cheesman 38 Husban 38 Married 22 years Labourer Farm born Chatham
Jane Cheesman Wife 40 Married 22 years 5 children 5 living born Chatham
James Cheesman Son 17 Single Clerke Agricultural Strood
Daisy Cheesman Daughter 6 Deptford
Louis Cheesman Daughter 3 East Greenwich

Ancestry have indexed it as though they belong to the previous household because of the fact that nobody is listed as "Head".

It is Kent, parish Horsmonden, enumeration district 11, schedule no 46 (image no 92 on ancestry).

Oh, and yes, the address in 1901 is Bullace Lane.

[Rachel]

Yes
Thank you Kate :-)

The slight problem is that I can't be sure its the correct family :confused:

There were supposed to be either 5 or 7 offspring, all boys, but I know for sure that their son James was born in Strood in 1894 and there was also a son named Henry.

I've never found another family that matches at all and it has been suggested that Jane was confused when she filled it in lol .... been at the cider or having a larf ?

Hmm, in 1911 two of the sons (from that 1901 census), John and Frederick, are in a children's home in Foot's Cray, Kent.

[Rachel]

Oh yes I think I have them somewhere.
It is very strange.

The offspring I found previously are
William 1889
Henry 1891
James 1894
John 1896
Frederick 1899
plus the two girls from the 1911 census ~ Daisy Louisa G and Louisa Jane


I have claimed this 1911 family because nothing else comes near.
James and John are definitely mine.
