Question

Wonder if anyone can help in looking up the census records for Frank Stockdale born 1868/69 Bermondsey Surrey father Robert Stockdale mother Emma Stockdale. Found him on the 1881 census/Thank you so much. Regards Irene

Answer 1

Sometimes you know people didn't tell the census taker the exact truth about their ages for one reason or another. I have many who have done that in my tree, also they have told the census taker that they are from somewhere els other than the place they give.

I have found a Frank Stockdale from Bermondsey in the 1901 census, as working as a kitchen porter in Southwark. This is the info, but age given to the enumerator was born 1875.

This is the only Frank Stockdale I can find for that year who was born in Bermondsey.

Sorry 1901 Census lists 13 Frank Stockdales but none of them fit with your information. The transcriptions for the census returns are not all complete or accurate, so he is possibly out there somewhere !!

I have searched for all those listed on 1881 census, at least one, if not all would have left home by 1901 and could not find any, maybe they all  emigrated !!

It is quite possible that this is the Frank that you are searching for. It was quite common for the enumerator to change  ages and name spellings. It was common practice for the age or birth year to be rounded off to the nearest five. He may even have misheard what was being told to him or for the household representative to have mixed up everyones details.

Hope this helps.
