1911 Mystery

[echokilo]

I am struggling to fin Martin Flaherty 1858-1915 on the 1911 census - he should be in Walsall, Staffs. His wife is deceased by 1911. His youngest child is a Martin too born 1891 but he is else where as a boarder .... can anyone find Martin senior? TIA

He's living with Henry and Mary Ann Goode at 43 Balls Street, Walsall. He's been mis-transcribed and is down as Martin Goode although looking at the original image it clearly says Flaherty.

How on earth did you find that Knittynora??? Thanks very much!!

I assumed that he'd mistranscribed so I searched for a 'Martin' born 1858-ish and living in Walsall then looked at them all until I found him.

Good thinking - and thanks for your patience! x
