  1. Look at Source One and answer these questions. Try and look at the handwritten version of the census first before the typed one.

Source one- 1921 Census record- The National Archives (RG15/1655)

  • What religion is Israel? How can you tell?
  • Why does it say ‘out of work’ next to Israel’s job? How do you think that affects the family?
  • How long do you think the family has lived in Britain? Clue- think about where John was born.
  • Is there anyone whose job is ‘home duties’? Who is doing that job? Why do you think house work took a long time?
  • What else can you learn about this family?
  1. What questions do you have about this family that are not answered by the census record? Write these down and keep them.
