I have found an 8 year old Frank Tivers on 1901 census as a patient in the London Temperance Hospital in Hampstead Road, London.

All Tivers are related to me somewhere along the line, but this one seems to have slipped through the net!
I cannot find either a birth or death for him. The census clearly shows his name as Tivers - there are so many mistranscriptions of the name on various documents it is rare to find it clearly written.

Can anyone please find Frank anywhere else?

I suppose you have already looked for his birth under Francis Tivers??

There's a Walter Wilfred Tivers born Fulham 1893 Sept Q. Is it possible Frank was his pet name?

I haven't got access to Ancestry at the moment, does it say where he was born on the 1901 census & has anyone found him in 1911 yet?

Erm no! Not yet anyway.

I have one of those on the 1841 census.

I don't think Walter and Frank are the same person. I always knew him as Uncle Wally.
1901 lists Frank's birthplace as St Pancras, but I can't find the birth of a Frank in Pancras that fits. Maybe that was just a guess as the hospital was in the St Pancras area!
I didn't think to look for a Francis though. I'll have a look now.
