1911 Census - Form H

Hermy · 2013-08-08 21:40:00

I'm looking at this entry for John Hearne and family and a note on Form A states that John is already accounted for on Form H. Can anyone tell me what is Form H and why is the head of the household accounted for there? (He's an RIC man if that has anything to do with it.)

Form H are barrack returns. Should be findable in the same town if he's RIC - but he'll be down as initials only.

Last line here? Transcribed as I but could be J, 41, Constable: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003625058/

You're lucky the enumerator (most likely) put that note there, I've been left stuck before until I found out someone was in the Army.

There's a load of special forms that are worth looking at in specific circumstances, such as boarding school ones (which have full names), mental hospitals and workhouses (both of which don't).
