1921 census could it be wrong?

Postby richo9133 » Sun Apr 17, 2022 3:58 pm

99% sure my g grandad died in 1920, but he seems to appear on 1921 census. ( I haven't seen the full transcript - just what you can see for free)
He was Joseph Firth born Wakefield 1875, married to Emma Eliza Parker. The address of his death in 1920 ties up to other documents ( Casson Row). He is shown as deceased on my grandma's marriage cert a few years later.

Any suggestions please

thanks
Julie

Could it be that Joseph was entered on the 1921 census by mistake? As the majority of us have found on various censuses people have been entered and crossed through because they have died - not reading the census form properly.

I would buy the image rather than buying the transcription, then you will know one way or another.
