  Thanks for the info.

I think that I might have to accept that maybe they're not on the 1891 Census, or not listed as Howes.
I can't imagine that they would have moved far outside the area as all their children were born in Southwark.

The person I am trying to find in all this is Johannah (Howes). She was my grandmother and until her marriage in 1912 it's like she never existed!! I cannot find her birth, supposedly 24 Jul 1890, cannot find the family in 1891 Census and she is not listed with the family in 1901 Census!! I know that I definitely have the right family.
Johannah (my grandmother) once told her daughter (who is still living) that she was born before Mary Ann (Bray) married Ernest Edward Howes, but that Ernest brought her up as his own and she took his surname. I searched for her birth under Bray as well as Howes, looking many years either side of 1890, but found nothing. I then discovered that Mary Ann Bray married Ernest Edward Howes in 1888, 2 years before Johannah was supposedly born!!

Any ideas?!!
Maybe I should post another topic with the above information?

  I know this is a big favour to ask, but can anyone find the following family, possibly either in St.Saviour or St.George, Southwark in 1891?

Ernest Edward Howes,   Age 22,  Head,  Born Southwark
Mary Ann Howes,            Age 21,  Wife,   Born Southwark
Arthur Howes,           Age 2 or 3,   Son,   Born Southwark
There may also be a Johannah with them approx. 1 year old.

It is possible that the family may have separated for a while, so they could be at separate addresses!! I said it was a big favour!!
They were living in St.Saviour in 1888 when Arthur was born and St.George in 1901.

I would be very grateful for any help.
