You might want to consider posting a lookup request on the Census Lookup boards for the 1901 Census. Some members also have access to the 1891 Census.  Remember to give as many details as you can when requesting a lookup - the more info you can provide, the easier it will be for the person doing the lookup.
Good luck,

didn't have any luck with a William with a wife Marie Rebecca, perhaps they were in the US at the time? Can you give me more information – where was Marie born??

Hi Loraine, some info is free from the 1901 but you have to pay to get any detailed info.
The 1881 census is completely free  and is on the L.D.S. Family Search page.
Hope this helps.

There is a William Edwards aged 4 born City of London on the 1881 census on www.familysearch.org
His parents were John and Louisa.   Isn't this the one you want?
