Hi, I have been trawling through it and am unable to find someone (name is ALWAYS) a problem.
It is almost certain to be mistranscribed and there is evidence he worked on the railways so I cant use area to pin him down.

So my best hope is a separate transcription, to that end, have FMP "sold" any of their transcriptions on or am I right in thinking that the Ancestry people are re transcribing the lot?

Thanks

Hi Wortle.....Have you tried WORSDELL...plenty of those on 1911.
Give us a name, date of birth and area and I'm sure someone here
will have a go at looking.....

Yep I get so confused at this I often cant find myself.

Ralph Rattue, dont have a middlename, born Wilts, Laverstock 1885, didnt marry til 1916 (Unless someone tells me he fitted a marriage in before that) I guess he might be limited to the southern railways if he had a job out of Salisbury and Portsmouth, probably need to be in a railway forum for that!

Got this...Could be parents. Although it states 2children born alive,
2 died!!!!!!. But this might be a start?

1911....6 Downside Cottage, Laverstock, Wilts.
William RATTUE hd. 57 Farm Labourer b. Laverstock, Wilts
Harriett RATTUE wife 49 marr: 14 yrs. b. Redlynch, Wilts
Alfred John Blake boarder 21 Cowman...b. Wilts.

Plenty of RATTUE's in Wilts.

The only Ralf RATTUE I can find..age way out.
1911 24 Middleton Rd. Salisbury
Albert Edward RATTUE hd.34 Engineman Railway Co. b. Ringwood,Hants
Florence RATTUE wife 29 marr.5 yrs. b. Pewsey, Wilts.
RALF RATTUE son 4 b. Salibury
Nellie RATTUE dau. 3 b. Salisbury
Lilian RATTUE dau.1 b. Salisbury
Jane Bandy boarder 68 b. Swindon.

Thanks for trying but I have all the family in place back to the 1800's when it gets sticky again.....I have his parents but he is not there with them. I have the woman he is gonna marry cosy at home with her first family. Just got access to the 1911 and wanted to bring them all up to date.

So I guess he is mistranscribed somewhere as its a strange name out on its own in a boarding house or similar.Transcribers in the wilts area have plenty of them to compare and there are a few batches around the country. Thats why I may get another chance if the whole lot are being worked on with a fresh set of eyes.

So does anyone know how thats being done?

ralph (randolph) might not be his first name might be a nickname we seen this plenty of times

A quick google shows there was a serious railway strike in 1911, he might have been away demonstrating or scabbing. If he was a senior engineer he might have been abroad, for instance the British section of the Kowloon - Canton railway opened in 1910.

Ancestry are doing it to be on later this year they hope.
I find it easier to search on
http://www.1911census.co.uk/

because using the advanced search you can play about with the letters more. But I didnt have any luck seeing your man.

I do that too Jo, find this more accurate - then have more info for the FMP 1911

Hi Wortle
Are you still working on this or can it be archived?
