Winston Kime, in Skeggy, notes: “Although the parish of Winthorpe was incorporated with Skegness in 1925, the 1931 census shows a smaller population than in 1921. This is probably accounted for by the dates on which the 1921 and 1931 censuses were taken. In 1921 the count was made on June 19th/20th, when a number of seasonal residents would be included. In 1931 the census was taken two months earlier, on April 26th/27th, when the holiday season had not really begun.”
