First, the outcomes for Philip David and Geoffrey. Philip David has had two partners. He married Alison Moorhouse at Huddersfield in 1972. Their union produced two girls – Rebecca Marie (b.1976) and Emma Jane (b.1978). Not much is known by the author about what has happened to the two girls. Emma Jane is shown on the 2002-05 Electoral Rolls as living in the same household as James A Greenwood, while Rebecca is shown in the 2002 Electoral Roll as living with Dan Botton, Christine A Chisholm, Joe Dove and Ian (whose name is not clear) and in 2003 as living in the same household as Jonathan Gorman, Ben Summers, Niamh Tierney and someone else whose name is not clear. However, there is no direct evidence that either Rebecca or Emma has married, so both will presumably be displayed as Soothills in the 2011 census. Similarly, there is no evidence of Alison getting re-married following the apparent breakdown of her marriage to Philip David, so Alison is another likely Soothill in the 2011 census. It seems that Philip David is now in a common-law marriage with Kim L. who thus also uses the name of Soothill.
There is no evidence of Philip’s first cousin, Geoffrey, getting married until 2003 when he married Cynthia Speight in Leeds. Hence, Cynthia provides another Soothill in the 2011 census. It is not clear whether they are still together, but the signs are not hopeful. Cynthia and Geoffrey share an address on the Electoral Roll for 2007-08, but Geoffrey is then shown as living with James J Furlong and Joseph Musaya in the 2009 Electoral Roll, while Cynthia is similarly shown as living on her own in the 2010 Electoral Roll.
Michael P Soothill (b.1955 in Bradford) has had two children – Hazel Frances (b. 1983) and Jack David (b. 1984) - with Julie Wells. Neither Hazel Frances (who probably uses the name of Frances rather than Hazel) nor Jack David seems to have married, so both are likely to be in the 2011 census as Soothills.
It is not clear from the Electoral Roll what is currently happening. 283
