looks like that ones ruled out too, no knights nearby ?

can't view the image Pete, I wonder if anyone else is having problems?

Yes I am having problems to, allows me to read part of the information but not original document. I think the record you refer to is one I have already viewed, and that it is Parkes rather than Darkes, also in the 1911 census.
