Notes |
- From the 1901 England Census for Portland, Dorset (RG13 Piece 1997 Folio 25 Page 41) Richard, 27, General Labourer from Bridport, Dorset, was with his motherin-law Elizabeth Hicks, widow, 46, from Corfe Gate, Dorset, at 15 Easton, Portland, Dorset, England. With him were his wife Ethel, 19, born Portland, Dorset, sister-in-law Mary, 16, born Portland, Dorset, brother-in-law Victor, 14 (sic), born Portland, Dorset, brother-in-law Clarence, 4 (sic), born Portland, Dorset, and sister-in-law Lily, 2, born Portland, Dorset.
From the 1911 England Census for Portland, Dorset (RG14PN12369 RG78PN703 RD263 SD3 ED6 SN340) Richard, 26 (sic), General Labourer born Bridport, Dorset, was with his mother-in-law Elizabeth Hicks, widow, 55 (sic), from Weymouth, Dorset, at 15 Easton Street, Portland, Dorset, England. With him were his brother-in-law Clarence Hicks, 19, General Labourer born Portland, Dorset, and wife Ethel, 23 (sic), born Westminster, London (sic).
?i?Note: Many of the figures just do not add up! Elizabeth's eldest daughter was born in 1868 yet on the 1911 census she claims her marriage has lasted 27 years, yet her husband died in 1898. This gives 30 years of marriage up to the time of his death or 43 years in total. Also, they had 11 children and yet only 5 total children born alive and 5 children still living was entered on the census. Elizabeth was born about 1850 making her 61 not 55, Clarence was born about 1890 making him 21 not 19, Ethel was born in 1881 making her 30 not 23, Richard was born about 1874 making him 37, not 26, and Ethel and Richard married in 1900 so they had been married 11 years not 5.
