Bob sorry for being a bit sparse with the info, I was getting back at you I'm afraid since I've responded to a couple of your request when you have only given the minimum of information. When we do a look up it really helps if you could give the whole information from the census details that you have since the other family members, occupations etc. do help with looking up other years.
I'm pretty positive this is your man because of the occupation of the family he's with.
