Mind you, had to laugh at the entry for No.19 in 1911 census ... had the Licensed Vitualler down as being 35 years old, his wife 29 and their daughter 52 !
They are recorded as being married for 62 years !! Work that one out .. LOL
Just adds weight to my argument katex, that the census returns aren't worth the paper they were scribbled on. I'm sure they are a great resource for tracing family history, but that's about all.
