well as you're offering

1.
RG13/868 f41 p41 - Got this one
RG13/74 f129 p26
Clue - "Is he alright?" - "Yes" - "Pity"

2nd clue - Long chain molecules

I'd have thought you'd get the 2nd census entry more quickly than the first.

2.
RG13/4805 f65 p24
RG13/1599 f146 p28 - Got this one
Clue - Woodstock town centre at night

One of the great lines in this is said by the man in the second census entry above to the man in the first census entry "Mr Weech, You wouldn't joke about a sacred subject"

3.
RG13/81 f68 p19 - Got this one
RG13/350 f159 p9 - Got this one
Clue - Boccherini

This one and the title of the production should lead to a connection to the others

If anyone is still in doubt with this production another clue might be - Copenhagen Tunnel

RG13/81 f68 p19
RG13/350 f159 p9
Clue - Boccherini

This one and the title of the production should lead to a connection to the others

If anyone is still in doubt with this production another clue might be - Copenhagen Tunnel

Not sure if I've got my knickers in a twist as what I now think is this title is what I thought was the link.

Oooh - think I might have further inspiration about the link. In which case, back to the drawing board. (Yeh, just double-checked. Got mixed up with one of the names. )
Still don't have a clue about the titles for 1 and 2 though.

Kierlaw

Mallingford

should give them away..........but who are the people in the censuses who appeared in these productions?

[Chasing Caseys]

Is it a film produced in 1955 ?

[Geoffers]

Is it a film produced in 1955 ?

One of them is - which one?

What links it to the other two films?

Who were the people?

[Chasing Caseys]

I think 3 Boccherini is the film.
Not to sure about the others but think the link maybe to two comedy actors in the 1955 film and one serious but cant put my finger on it.

Hi Robin,
Sorry but FreeCEN will be no good to you this time, as the references begin RG13 which means the 1901 census, and the 1901 has yet to be transcribed to FreeCEN.
You need a subscription/pay-to-view site such as Findmypast, The Genealogist, or Ancestry.
Though I didn't know that you could search using a census ref on FreeCEN
Pam

I used the folio and page numbers on freecen, not sure how to search for specific records on Ancestry.

[Pam Downes]

Finally got them all.
It's all very well setting these quizzes Geoffers, but you must bear in mind that some of the pay-to-view-the-census sites ain't very hot on transcriptions.

1.
RG13/868 f41 p41 = Cecil Schwabe
RG13/74 f129 p26 = Ernest Thesiger (indexed by A* as Thearger)
Clue - "Is he alright?" - "Yes" - "Pity"

Film = The man in the white suit

2.
RG13/4805 f65 p24 = George Relph (indexed by A* as Ralph)
RG13/1599 f146 p28 = Stanley Holloway
Clue - Woodstock town centre at night

Film = The Titfield Thunderbolt

3.
RG13/86 f68 p19 = Katie Johnson
RG13/350 f159 p9 = Horace John Waters (indexed by A* as Anna John Walen)
Clue - Boccherini

Film = The Ladykillers

What links all three, who can be found in the above census returns and of the above who changed their names and to what?

Connection = All produced at the Ealing Studios. (Not sure if they're all classed as Ealing comedies.)

Cecil Schwabe became Cecil Parker, and Horace John Waters became Jack Warner.

The frustration is over ( i hope !)
