1911 census - the Hubberstey males

There were 64 Hubberstey males listed in the 1911 census. Below I have summarized the census data for each one and then added some additional information, if I have any. For privacy reasons I have not traced too far forward, but if you would like additional information on your line, please just send me an e-mail and I will pass on what I have.

This census even though it was done in 1911 still illustrates the concentration of names for Hubberstey males. Of the 64 (just using first names) we have 6 named James, 13 named John, 6 named Robert, 10 named Thomas, and 7 named William. So 42 of the 64 use just 5 names! The prevalence of these five names is consistent since we started tracing with Robert and Mary at the beginning of the line.


The references to lines relate to the numbering of posts on the main page. Please note that the birth years may be off by one year as they are derived from the ages on the census reports. Also there may be some people who were not counted in the 1911 census.
