Hi Derrick, If they are all missing that implies they were all together, and possibly the surname was mis-spelt (my sample suggests a significant percentage were) or maybe outside of England/Wales. Having lost both parents, they may have been staying with relatives and possibly had adopted their surname. If one had an unusual forename or two try searching without a surname in the whole of Warwickshire of the right age. Have you found them in the 1939 civilian register?

McSporran. Thanks for your input which spurred me on to get to the bottom of things. As I said, they were all on the 1911 census and I found them all again [all married by then] on the 1939 Register and all still living in Coventry with their original name [Reddington]. I then searched the 1921 census using first names only and their years of birth and found two people listed as Paddington rather than Reddington. I then searched for Paddingtons and found all 6 of them still living at their father's house at 10 Vauxhall Terrace under the care of the eldest sibling Herbert who was 26. They had also transcribed Victor as Victot. I am so relieved that I have sorted this out and thanks again for your suggestions. I don't think it is possible to offer corrections to the 1921 census as you can do for transcription errors on other censuses so the error will probably remain forever. |
