Looking to retrieve the census for Hatherley Road and my French nuns convent, St Joseph's Convent, one of the first images that appeared for 1901 was the following. Unexpectedly it is for Devon, not Sidcup. Then it gets stranger. This 1901 page for Devon is for the Soper family, the very family that my father, Edward, spent part of the Second World War as an evacuee and had such happy memories that he remained close to the the family decades later. He showed me around the area in the 1980's and where his school used to stand in Totnes in Devon, long since demolished, as is my convent.
