Information from the 1911 census

The information from the census is confusing. There was a Lackey family living in 6 rooms at 9 Industry Terrace, Brixton, that included Henry Lackey, 27, a carman born in Brixton. The household consisted of George Lackey, 48, a general carrier’s carman from Walworth, and Louisa Lackey, 44, from Bankside, Southwark. They stated that they had 7 children: Ellen Lackey, 19; Thomas Lackey, 17, and John Lackey, 15, both greengrocer’s assistants; Rose Lackey, 13; Joseph Lackey, 11; another Henry Lackey, 6; James Lackey, 3. All were born in Brixton except the younger Henry. It looks like the enumerator has made a mistake and described the older Henry Laskey as a son of George and Louisa (perhaps he was a nephew).

There is also a discrepancy between place of birth for Henry. The Soldiers Died in the Great War database gives this as Walworth; this Henry was born in Brixton.

This family provided a testimonial for greengrocer’s assistant Albert Laskey when he joined the Army in 1909.
