It\u2019s interesting to read a form that they filled in nearly 100 years ago.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">While I was looking, I thought I\u2019d look up our Troop\u2019s first Scoutmaster. Although he only lasted a few months, he was our first Scoutmaster and I think I now know why he didn\u2019t stay with the Troop for very long. He moved to a town a couple of miles away to be a \u2018lodgeman\u2019 which judging by the number of lodgers he had in his house meant he ran a B&amp;B.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">I also looked up two of the Scouts who were killed in the Great War. Aly (Alfred) and Colin Jackson were 16 and 14 respectively and they both worked on a pot bank (a pottery factory). They lived at a different address then to the one recorded when they were both killed in WW1.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">It\u2019s all fascinating stuff and it make the names seem more \u2018real\u2019. I now know where these people lived, what their jobs were and more about their families. I\u2019d like to find out more about the Scouts, but it is quite a time consuming and expensive business, so the family records come first! However, I will keep dipping in every now and again to this interesting resource.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1911 Census was made available online on Tuesday of this week and I\u2019ve had some fun looking through it.
