Trying to find George Byers. Birth registered Guisborough December 1845 (Free BMD) 1901 census George is a widower age 54 living 63 Belmangate Guisborough with his daughter Jane age 16 and son James age 11. He gives his place of birth as Guisborough I found him (presumeably) on the 1871 census index age 23, in Guisborough although his age is a couple of years adrift. But where was he 1851, 61, 81 and 91? Cannot find him on any of these indexes or any trace of a marriage for him on free bmd.
Can anyone help, thanks.

Hi Barbara 1841 census, I think Jane Byers age 30 was in Whitby with son Thomas age 2. I wonder why? I cannot make out what is written in the trade or profession column.
I think her age (59) is incorrect in 1851, I found a birth, IGI Jane Seaton christened 24 November 1810, Loftus, which fits. She would have been 39, 1851.
Also IGI found a Robert Byers Seaton born 1835 Guisborough - this could be the Robert Byers age 4 with Robert Seaton in Margrove Park Skelton 1841 census.

Hi Barbara
Normally I do only have access to the census index, however, while filing some papers I came across an old voucher for 1901censusonline. Wasn't sure if it had expired - or even where I got it, so I tried it and it worked! We moved house two years ago and many things are only now coming to light!!
When checking the index I usually try findmy past and double check on 1901online but I find the 1901online is not at all reliable. More often I find who I am looking for on fmp whereas 1901online index so often tells me "not found".
So, many thanks for all the data you have provided me with - I really didn't realise I had this voucher - it must be from when 1901 first came out and there were so many problems I gave it up as a bad job.
Jane Byers - many thanks, the image I saw didn't say where they were. I found Jane and Thomas on the fmp index which said Whitby - then armed with that info went to 1901online.
I seem to recall seeing Hinderwell mentioned in this research somewhere will have another look at it.
Thank you again for all you help
Regards Margaret

Many thanks Barbara. I may be without a computer for a day or two, just had new motherboard and power point - now hard drive is almost full!! Technician had a problem installing new one so it needs to go to the "shop" tomorrow.
Will certainly ask should I need further assistance with my research. Many thanks for the offer.
Regards Margaret
