1911 Census

The 1911 census required respondents to state the number of years their current marriage had lasted, the number of children born alive and the number still living.  Often this information was crossed through (as shown).  The words “At home” in the occupation column meant that the person worked from home.

The main hospital building had 37 rooms, and the porter’s lodge had 4 rooms (including the kitchen).
