Hi Hilary,
how interesting !

For reasons unknown to me this week I can get free access to the 1911 WALES Census (but no other bar the usual 1881 !?) on Ancestry even tho I'm not currently subscribed. This is very handy as on the later Census's many West Dean households in the Coleford, Lydbrook etc area were considered to be "Wales" (as Monmouth, just across the border, was the nearest large town so registration centre, rather than Westbury On Severn say which traditionally governed the eastern Forest. This website is a great guide to these local admin Districts and how their names/boundaries changed over the years.

Indeed, inmy experience some FH Census search-engines rather-annoyingly list Wales Census results separately/way-after the England ones, even though many of the England ones might be much farther away...?. Saying that, Ancestry seems to be improving in this respect.

Anyhow, I think this is Benjamin in 1911 Census, if you can't access it yourself I have downloaded the form image and will happily send to you if you like. Perhaps Benjamin didn't like being past 30 years old...?
