Title: Gibraltar, families accompanying a service man
Post by: odbsmith on Friday 02 April 21 15:55 BST (UK)

my Great Great Aunt Emma died about 6 weeks after childbirth in Gibraltar in 1891, her husband Richard was a serving soldier. They had 3 other children. Violet williams was Was born 18th March 1891 and Emma died 30 April 1891.
 I know the 1911 census covered service men abroad. Did  the 1891 census cover service men and their families abroad?

Not the UK census but you should be able to find them in the Gibraltar census:
