Thanks, Pat - and the same to you and yours.  Hope you're feeling 'more the thing', now?

It is my understanding that Ancestry will have transcribed the 1921 census themselves - so I'm really interested to see what they make of my GGF's florid handwriting.  His name was Borrill Brodie - but FindmyPast transcribed it as Porrill Prodil - I only managed to track him down by searching on the address he was living at in 1911: luckily, he was still living in the same place in 1921.

I have to thank member, Howard Jones, for more information about this car.  Does anyone have a photo of this type of car?

"I am researching early motoring in the UK (1903/1904) and may be able to answer the question about William Appleton's car. He may have owned an earlier car (no registrations were required before Nov 1903) but he did register a 4.5hp De Dion Phaeton motor car on 1st December 1903. The car was dark green with light green lines and carried the Somerset registration Y12. This De Dion car was however not chain driven."
