there's dozens of candidates in 1901.
if his DOB came from a death certificate you would have to factor in an error on the part of the informant. Did he later marry/die in Castleford, or does that geography relate to another member of his family?

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
John was 73 when he died in 1965 in Hemsworth reg district which means his birth year could have been between March 1891 - March 1892 dependant on the month he was born
If you know who he married - a copy of his marriage cert will at least give you his fathers name which may help to trace him on the 1901 census
Did he have any siblings that you know of - names and ages may help trace the right 1901 entry

In December 2005, somebody has notified a surname correction to Ancestry on a 1901 entry that was transcribed as Jobson but which the notifier says should be Tolson
It suggests somebody else is researching this family
Although there are a few Isabella Tolson's, given Johns birthyear and the Yorkshire connection, I think this is the likeliest but the marriage cert will confirm her fathers name
I can't make out the actual address but the district was Ossett and they were all b Ossett
Wilson Tolson probably 50 but transcribed as 30 - contractor builder Mary 48 Richard 22 Arthur 20 Samuel H 17 Fred H 13 Henry H 13 Isabella H 11 Levi 10 Hezrah Marshall 26 boarder b Scarborough Emma Cawthorn E 13 niece
