1911 Census return (RG 14/227)

Transcript

My wife unfortunately being a Suffragette put her pen through her name, but it must stand as correct. It being an equivocation to say she is away. She being always resident here & has only attempted by a silly subterfuge to defeat the object of the Census. To which as “Head” of the family I object.
