"...living in my Stockwell home was the registrar for Lambeth, one William Edwards, together with his wife and 17-year-old son. Edwards was 71, his wife only 10 years younger: so they were older middle-class parents who'd only had a single child - very Noughties. They had a live-in maid, Florence Powell, who was 26. But while this substantial house had only four inhabitants in 1911, when I looked at the census for 1901 it was subdivided into three flats, with a total of 11 people in residence. The neighbourhood had been genteel to begin with in the 1870s, gone downhill, then been gentrified."The 1911 census is available at www.1911census.co.uk. There is a charge for downloading.
Watch out for more posts on the 1901 and 1911 census (censi? censuses?).
