I haven’t been able to find my great grandfather on the 1891census. He was married with 7 children in 1901 and should be on the 1891 census as married with (possibly) 3 children. I have searched for each of these names individually and still come up with nothing. I remember reading somewhere that some census records were destroyed during the war, and wondered if this was one of them??? If this isn’t the case what other reason would there be for them not to be on the census? ??
It’s baffling me, but incase anyone can help here are some details.
In 1901 they were living in Battersea, London
William Farrant was born 1862 Yeovil, Somerset and his wife Lily was born 1862 in Wandsworth.
William married Lily Phipps in June 1885 Wandsworth
and their children who should have been on the 1891 census are:
Lily Farrant b 1886 Wandsworth
William Farrant b 1888 Wandsworth
and May Farrant was born in 1891 so not sure if she’d be on the census
Thanks, Lorraine
