A look at the 1921 census

Today I finally found some time to look at the 1921 census. I wasn’t expecting many surprises as 1921 almost feels within living memory, thanks to the memories of parents and grandparents.

I looked into a subscription with find my past but decided it would be cheaper to purchase any downloads individually.

The first people I looked for were my maternal grandparents – Robert Winchcombe (193 Ferndale Road, Swindon) and a 2 minute walk away, Kathleen Hacker (1 Whiteman Street, Swindon). They met at St Barnabas Church Youth Club, where they both played badminton and table tennis.
