    William Garner on 1901 census (bootmaker) born in March Cambridgehsire
    RG13; Piece: 1553; Folio: 60; Page: 12

    on 1911 census (bootmaker by trade crossed out) place of birth still Cambridgeshire (Wisbech) Odd Cots
    RG14; Piece: 9281; Schedule Number: 20

    What might be meant by Odds Cots [as Ancestry has it]?

    BTW 1st wife died before 1911 census and he remarried so this is the same one (I hope)

    Thanks!

    I have had a look at the original and think that it reads Obbs Lots. This could refer to Hobbs Lots Bridge, an area just outside Wisbech, as it is also annotated Wisbech Parish. :)
