Please can anyone help. For some time I have been trying to establish the whereabouts of my Great Uncle, Ernest Cage, and my Grandfather Herbert Game in 1901 (where one went the other seemed to go). Neither appear in the 1901 English census. To my surprise, the recent release of the 1911 census revealed that Ernest Cage would seem to have married Ethel Symons around 1905 somewhere in Ireland and had a daughter Annie Victoria who was born in 1905 in Poor Head, Ireland (1911 data). I assume this to mean the Coast Guard station which would fit with the fact that Ethel was the daughter of Henry Herbert Symons who served in various coasguard stations in Ireland between 1884 and 1909. Hence my request on this site. To cut to the request, does anyone have access to the 1901 census of Ireland to establish whether Ernest Cage (born 1880 Old Newton), Suffolk or/and Herbert Game (born 1878 Cockfield Suffolk) were in Irelnd at that time ? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks |

Tony Thanks for the posting. You kindly sent me the data contained within it previously. I presume I was not totally clear about my request. I was hoping that it might be possible to ascertain from the 1901 census whether Ernest Cage and/or Herbert Game were somewhere in Ireland at that time in order for them to meet and subsequently marry Herbert Symons' two daughters respectively Ethel and Alice Symons within the timeframe of their marriages. Clearly Ernest must have been in Ireland in 1905 as he and Ethel married and had a child in that year. Neither appear in the 'English' 1901 census. As an aside, you previous data helped me track down the continuing career of Henry Herbert Symons; it had an odd conclusion. Following his time in Ireland where he served in a number of different stations,he returned to Falmouth where he became the Chief Officer, a position of no mean responsibilty I would have thought. But in 1912 he was suddenly 'retired' from the Navy having been sent to a Royal Navy assylum in Great Yarmouth and having been diagnosed as 'a dangerous lunatic' !! He can't of spent much time there as he was living in Kent by 1914. I am sorry if I did not make my request totally clear. Regards, Colin |
