The #1921Census confirmed that my Great x2 Grandfather Joseph Rogers did work at Patent Shaft as a Driller for Bridge Girders between 1901 and approx 1930, as did his father from the late 1890s. They may have made bridges similar to this one in Dorset, threatened with demolition.

Everyone knows by now that Beatrix Potter appears on the #1921Census (albeit under her married name Helen Beatrix Heelis) but look who I've tracked down! #AncestryHour
Just burst into tears as I saw this result from the #1921Census - my beloved nanna. She was just 1 year old here. I had no idea she had so many siblings, all of whom she outlived by quite a way. Also never knew they had a ‘boarder’ - who was he? #Newcastle twitter.com/findmypast/sta…

Has anyone else found an illiterate person in the #1921Census yet? My great-great-grandad couldn't write. I'm intrigued that it was signed by his mother-in-law (and neighbouring Head of Household) and not his wife.
It's great when you can finally prove your research 😁 I had a possible marriage & death of my great grandads brother. Checked the 1921 Cen last night, and BAM! there he is! I can now add the research to my tree. His death is heartbreaking 😥
