Requesting help with 1901 & 1911 census please

1911 James occupation looks like General Labourer at Blast Furnaces (pig iron manufacturers)
Where some children were born, transcribed as Etruria and looks like that. Apparently its a suburb of Stoke-on-Trent.

Yes great help thanks, although Jo & I are unsure of that 1901 census x

Don't think you are going to get an answer on that one without alot of digging

shall I move to brickwalls

Yes please move to brick walls section n I'll come back to it,
I've tried different sites n can't find anything so like you say lots of digging

Thanx again x

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?

Unless otherwise advised this will be moved to the Brickwalls Archived section
within 24 hours

Still digging can't find him anywhere on 1901 ?

Can see Thomas & Ellen had 6 children

Mary Thornton 1905
James Henry Thornton 1907
Helen/Ellen Thornton 1909
