Hi All.
The 1891 census gives the details of a family living in St Anns, Strand, London (RG/12/88).They were Henry Johns . Head M 33 Shopkeeper. b.channel islands.
Jane Johns Wife M 32 b.London, Bromley
Henry Johns Son 4 b. Westminster London
His mother and a niece were also at the same address (32 Frith Street, Soho).
My problem is that I have searched high and low for this family on the 1901 census but find no trace. There is a Henry aged 14 on the 1901 census as being born in Soho and whose parents are George and Janet Johns but I have found that this is not the Henry I require. There is also a Henry Johns aged 50 living in Aldershot, in 1901, married to Ellen (but I know this is untrue) stating he is from Soho London. This may be him but if so where is Jane and little Henry. I have checked passenger lists, death records and juggled the names in al sorts of ways but to no avail.
Is it staring at me but I cannot see it??
Many thanks for any help
