Since the lockdown started i have joined " Findmypast" If you are bored with life, you will find this very interesting and addictive. I remember visiting my g/parents house in the 50s, my g/parents lived in a small 2 up 2 down terraced house was always amazed that they only used one room to live in. My g/mothers bachelor brother lived in one half of the house. My mothers brother who was was only in his 50s was bedridden and lived in his bed by the side of the fireplace. In 1901 census my g/mother lived in the house with her widowed father, sister and 3 brothers. In the 1911 census, same house g/mother was married with the first 3 of her 10 children plus her bachelor brother and another brother and his wife and their two children. Just wondered, how would they have coped with the lockdown.
