I am trying to trace the where abouts of my paternal grandfather in the 1901 census. He was born to George and Emma Wilson registration in Wilbarston. Lived with parents 1881 census, but is elusive on the 1891 and 1901 census. He had two brothers both born in Lyddington Arthur George in 1882 and Henry William in 1887. He married Maud Barrow in Lambeth in 1902, had a daughter Maud Emma in 1905 moved to Walthamstow/Leyton by 1908 when his son George Owen was born, then later another son (my father) in 1911. But his where abouts in 1901 appears to be a mystery. In the 1891 census I have found a Owen Wilson who was a servant, therefore no family information on census, and cannot confirm this. If any one has any connection to my grandfather or can find a census that could be him I would be very obliged as I feel I am hitting a brick wall with this research.
Many thanks in advance,

Hi,
Welcome to Rootschat. :)
The Owen Wilson shown on 1891 census does give his birthplace as Liddington, Rutland so could be "your" man.

The marriage in 1902 to Maud Barrow is for George Owen Wilson, a stoker, father George Wilson an engineer.
So perhaps his actual name was George Owen Wilson, or at least he was using that name at this time.
He has the fascinating address on his marriage cert as 1 and a half Coin Street!
