  4.   The quality of the census image made it extremely difficult to read.
    Occupations were not included in this census. The word Didsbury following the name of the head of the household might infer that the Vernon family were living in the same place for the 1901 and 1906 censuses, however, the enumeration district boundaries had changed.
