📜 From the archives: the woman who wrote on every inch of her census return
While digitising the 1921 Census in 2021, our team stumbled upon an extraordinary record: a return covered with one woman’s handwritten commentary 😮
ALT Alt Text: "An open vintage document titled 'Census, England, 1921', displaying two pages filled with handwritten entries and annotations. Instructions for enumerators are visible on the right margin."
ALT Historical document filled out with detailed hand-written notes and structured tables across its width. The document is aged, with evident wear at the folds.
