Over the weekend we visited the pretty coastal town of Poole in Dorset. On the night of the 1841 census my second great-grandfather was recorded as staying at the house of Edward Dugdale, a victualler, on the High Street. Alfred Young was 27 and his occupation was listed as Navy.
I have one photograph of him in his naval uniform, so I thought it would be fun to take it with me and try and find the location on the census. There are some beautiful old buildings around this end of the high street but unfortunately I couldn’t locate a specific building.
