Uncle is missing in 1911 census

Dagwood · Post by **Dagwood** » 04 Mar 2013 07:04

Can anyone assist in finding F G Gerrard living in 6 Western Road, Romford in 1911 as I cannot find a census page but can see him on a census summary when using Ancestry. He may turn out not to be the Frederick Gerrard I am looking for,born Hackney approx 1884, but missing census pages in Ancestry could be the reason we have not been able to find him after 1901.
If anyone can help we'd appreciate it.

Ps I should say I have looked for others living near to him but they also appear in Summary Book pages only and not census forms so possibly a batch has been missed in Ancestry.

I have looked up 6 Western Road, Romford, Essex on FMP for 1911:

GERRARD, James Gall Head Married M 39 1872 Insurance Clerk Lincolnshire Market Deeping
GERRARD, Agnes Monro Wife Marr 6 years F 39 1872 Glasgow Resident

with young Son & Daughter and Brother & Sister-in-law plus servant.

There are several other Western Road entries in Essex but none have a number 6, except in West Ham, but the names do not match at all.

I also cannot find an entry for Frederick G Gerrard born Hackney approx 1884.
I have found him in 1901 in Hackney with his his parents George & Lavinia.
I also cannot find his younger brother George in the 1911 Census.

My line of research would be to work through each member of the 1901 family and try and find them in 1911 and that might give some clues.

Thanks to you both for taking the trouble to look up this Gerrard for me. I guess I mistook his initial J for an F....Specsavers here I come!
George died in 1904 and we think we have all others accounted for. There is no WW1 record or subsequent death for Fred'k so perhaps he emigrated; a distinct possibility as an uncle had been successful in San Francisco and had visited with his wife and children, no mean feat back then!
Thanks again
