NOTES |
|---|
| This index was created in 2019-2020 by John Patrick & Lew Fletcher. It includes all 4691 individuals named in the 1911 census for Swanage. |
| The reference numbers for the census are somewhat complicated. For example page one is: RG14/PN12299/RG78PN697/RD262/SD1/ED3/SN1 |
| For simplicity in the index, the 3 sections of Swanage have been marked a, b, c. Thus: a1-a551 (RG14/12299); b1-b543 (RG14/12300); c1-2 (RG14/12304). |
| Where surnames and/or first names were hard to read, efforts have been made to verify these names using other sources. |
| These sources include GRO birth, marriage and death records & earlier census returns etc. |
| Where names are known to be wrongly spelt, the correct name has been used & the wrong one shown in brackets (?). Five entries have been double indexed. |
| Where house names were hard to read, they have been verified using the 1911 Swanage street directory. |
| Where places of birth were hard to read, a Google search was used. For counties of birth, the Chapman county codes have been used to save space. |
| Where it was not possible to be 100% certain of a name or place, a best guess has been used and a ? will appear in the index against that entry. |
| Every effort has been made to get as much information as possible into the index. See the occupation & misc information column: |
| Married women's details for marriage years/children born/still alive/died, have been shown as for example: 23/8/6/2. |
| Where these details had been noted for widows, married men and widowers and crossed out by the enumerator they have been shown in brackets. |
| Details of a person being an (employer) or working on (own account) have been included, followed by the trade they worked in. |
| If only the occupation is shown, it can be assumed that the person was a worker or no other details were given. |
| Information on foreign born individuals has been shown by nationality, (British by parents) and/or (resident) etc. |
| Details of any infirmity have also been noted in this column. |
| There were no surnames beginning with X |
