Ivalls in the 1921 Census

The 1921 census for England and Wales has recently been released on the website Findmypast. The index can be viewed free. It shows 71 people with the surname Ivall. Of these, 68 are people in my family tree. The remaining 3 are people whose details I don’t recognise and I suspect that their actual surnames have been mistranscribed.

There are some Ivalls that I was expecting to find, who are not listed. I have found them wrongly listed under other surnames. They are

-          William Charles Jooel (Ivall) and Florence Bessie Jooel with their 4 children

-         Robert Thomas Owen Soall (Ivall) and Florence Sarah Soall with their 3 children

-          George Iver (Ivall) and Alice Eliza Iver

-          Catherine Mildred (Ivall)

-          Percy Isall (Ivall) and Alice Isall with 4 of their children 

This brings the total number of positively identified Ivalls in the census to 88. 

It costs £3.50 to download the image of a census return, which contains information not in the index. I have purchased the one showing my great grandparents George (aged 67, a retired cabinet maker) and Alice Eliza (65) Ivall. They were visiting their daughter Rose Lily, who had married Walter Edwin Kebbell and lived at 9 Medina Avenue, Newport, Isle of Wight. The house had 6 rooms. Google Street View shows this to be one of a terrace of houses, which look to be quite large. Walter (aged 37) and Rose (35) are listed at the address with their children Joyce (7) and Winifred (6). Walter's occupation is recorded as "Brewer's manager, bottling dept" working for Whitbread Co Ltd at the Wighthall Brewery, Quay St, Newport. This is about half a mile from 9 Medina Avenue. The census was taken in June 1921, so presumably George and Alice (who lived in Hackney, London) were visiting their daughter for a summer holiday. 

If you download any other 1921 census Ivall images, please let me know.
