  • The 1911 Census return says that they had been married for 13 years. However, a search for their marriage registration England and Wales was fruitless.

  • Census for household:

  • 31 Mar 1901 (age 25)

  • Plymouth, Devon12

  •  

  • Address: 9 Clayton Place

    The household consisted of Albert, his wife Annie and their children Nellie (age 2) and Albert (age 4 months)

  • Census for household:

  • 2 Apr 1911 (age 36)

  • Devonport, Devon13

  •  

  • Address: Houseboat 'Mayflower', Richmond Walk

    The family consisted of Albert, his wife Annie and their 6 children Nellie, Edward, Russell, Lavinia, Roy & Kathleen. Although 'Mayflower' is a houseboat (see Marriage Certificate for Mary Blagdon) and presumably permanently moored at Richmond Walk the return is for a vessel (Mayflower) and is countersigned by a Customs Officer. There is no indication of the size although it must have been fairly large to accommodate all the children. It would appear from the places where the children were born that they had lived there since 1893. In the return everyone was originally designated Crew but subsequently the entries for Albert and Annie where amended to Head & Wife. The return shows that one of their children had died.
