Okay fine, my encyclopaedia article about Ethel Reed is still in need 
of an ending, and I've done everything on-line that I can do, so is 
there anyone with access to the 1911 British census?  I'm even 
willing to pay someone to tell me if she was still living in London 
in 1911 the way she was living there in 1901.  I haven't been able to 
check on-line because unless I am reading it wrong, the 1911 census 
requires that one know the street address of the person.  The only 
address I have is what it says on the 1901, that she and her 4 month 
old son are living in St. George Hanover Square London (Belgrave).  I 
am determined to solve this mystery, and the letters of her former 
lover the poet Richard LeGallienne certainly seem to indicate that 
she was still in London at that time, although I cannot verify it. 
Sooo, can any of you nice wombats with more access to British records 
than I have help me take this mystery to the next decade?

Btw, those of yo who found an Ethel Reed who died in 1910-- it's not 
our Ethel.  This one was born in the UK.  Ethel was born in 
Newburyport MA in 1874.
