I would be curious to know the whereabouts of Daniel Barnett.

Someone on a genealogy website has suggested this link, for cases where there's already a shrewd suspicion as to where the target was living.

I've bought myself a Walter Dew. Please PM me if you're interested.

Hi Brenda
There are no obvious candidates for Daniel Barnett in 1911 that I can see, which makes me wonder if the Daniel Barnett who died last quarter 1906 in Whitechapel age 57 might be him.Comment

thanks Robert! I always find the census information you guys dig up to be so interesting. I've thought about joining Ancestry.com for awhile, just to see if this kind of research truly appeals to me, or is just a passing interest. I think, though, I'll wait to decide when Ancestry.com updates their servers.

Hi Brenda
Well, I suppose it gives a new angle on folks trying to trace their ancestry :
Step 1 : They subscribe to Ancestry
Step 2 : They look for their ancestors
Step 3 : Before they can find them, they find they've joined them.
Problem solved.

I was on Ancestry for a year, just to get all the Stephenson information. I gained entries for the Stephenson family, Dawber family, and all the bit part players that they had dealings with.
It helped build a bigger picture, but once I had got what I wanted I cancelled my subscription as it was becoming expansive, and sloooow!Regards Mike

Just to confirm that the 1911 census can be viewed for free at the National Archives at Kew:
"The 1911 census is accessible on dedicated machines only at The National Archives. Each terminal is available for a maximum of one hour and must be booked onsite prior to use. There is a dedicated 1911 booking point near the main ground floor entrance."
I dare say these "dedicated machines" will be pretty busy for the foreseeable future, though.Comment

Since it's the "National" Archives you'd have thought there'd be computer hook-ups for those who live in Wales, Scotland and other far-flung places. This kind of reminds me of the days when the King's sheriffs used to load up the King's taxes on donkeys and plod their way south to the Exchequer, there to hand over said taxes in return for notched wooden tallies as receipts - which ended up burning down Parliament in 1834. Strewth!Comment

For those searching the 1911 census, I have read a tip whereby it is possible to search by first name only. What you apparently have to do is to enter (,) - a comma inside two brackets - in the surname field.Comment

Many thanks for that - it works a treat. My first attempt turned up Aaron "Kozminki" in an institution near Watford...Originally posted by Robert View Post
I only hope it lasts!Comment

I have posted transcripts of the entries for Joseph Lavender (Lawende) and Aaron Kozminski to the appropriate threads:

Not having much luck tracing Joseph Fleming.
The only "patient" to emerge as a remotely viable candidate in terms of known alias, age and location is one G.E. Evans, 51, single, labourer. Under "Industry or service with which worker is connected" is the number "330", whatever that means. Birthplace is unfortunately listed as Poplar, and the nature of the infirmery is blanked out. The district is listed as Romford, Essex, which wouldn't be too far out for Claybury asylum, and we know he used the alias "James Evans".
Not very promising, I'm afraid, but it's the closest I can find.
His mother, Henrietta Flemming, is easily traceable to Shoreditch where she is listed as an 89-year-old patient.
Best regards,
