When the 1921 census was released, I found my only grandparent who was alive that year: William Herbert Jefferson, a Church of England priest. He is on the list of vicars at Christ Church, New Seaham, a church built for miners in County Durham that I last visited in 2015. (1/7) Image William was a miner's son. On the day of the census (held at @UkNatArchives) he was 4 years and 11 months old. He was in Geoffrey Street, Whitburn, with his parents: William Herbert senior, a heaver at Marsden colliery who was ‘out of work’ and Edith, who had ‘home duties’. (2/7) Image
