Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Missing from all Census from 1881 - 1901
« on: Tuesday 22 July 08 18:21 BST (UK) »
Cannot find my grandfather William John Laker and his family anywhere on any Census from 1881 through to 1901.. he died aged 49 years in September 1920 Commonwealth Road Caterham, Surrey.
William was married to Elizabeth Ann Green 1898 Bethany Hall Croydon Road Caterham Surrey.
I knew he had connections with the Salvation Army in Caterham, and was a Band Master there and founder member of the Original Citadel.
William also signed up to the Bedfordshire Regiment, and was disharged early probably due to ill health...
William John , Elizabeth Ann, children Elizabeth Fanny born 1899, and a child born to Elizabeth Ann outside of marriage but not Williams proven by birth cert, named Mary Ann Elizabeth Green born 1896, should be on the Census somewhere, but I cannot find them anywhere.
4 other children were born after the 1901 Census, and a possible further son William John Laker birth year unknown.Referred to as the oldest though.
Can anyone suggest where I could look now..
thanks
