My paternal great-grandfather Mansel Young was at home on the night of the 1921 census. His home was 6 Woodland Street, Kingston, Portsmouth. This house still exists today (thanks google maps!) and is just behind St Mary’s Church.
I love the fact that I can see my ancestor’s handwriting on the front cover of the Schedule.
I wonder if he lived alone? His house had 4 rooms and at this time he was a widower, his occupation is recorded as a retired Dockyard Labourer, at the Navel Store Department in Portsmouth. He had two sons, one had died during the First World War, and the other son is marked as a visitor staying with John Underhill in Bridgend, Wales.
