London, January 13: Ace footballer David Beckham's great-great grandfather, John, worked as a scavenger for the local council in Walworth, south-east London, while the latter's son Edward drove carts in 1911.
The information has come to the fore after the publication of that year's census on the Internet.

According to reports, on the first Sunday in April 1911, the head of every household in the country sat down to fill in their census form.
