Could I please have a 1911 Look Up for Joseph Elijah Yardley born 1832 Lye Waste. Wife Sarah born 1834.

In 1901 they are living in QB. Many thanks from Linell.

Is this the one?

YARDLEY, Sarah Wife Married 43 years F 76 1835 3/p Weck Old Age Pensioner Amblecote Brierley Hill Staffs
NO chidren

What does the 3/p mean -- anyone know?

Had a look at Image:

It means: 3 shilling a week pension...

(3/- p.week)

Thank you -- I had missed the dash and not realised the p was short for per but knew it wasn't pence as it was d then!-- hence my confusion

Thanks Sparks and Maths Girl, interesting about the Pension, Old Age Pensions were bought in by Lloyd George 1909, didn't get much did they Linell.

In 1910, £0 3s 0d would have the same spending worth of today's £8.56.

I think that by adding it to the 'Census'
They were probably being sarcastic and
'making a point'
