Is it possible to find any info re.this person (when + where
he enlisted) from so little in 1901 census.

RG13/613  folio 14  page 21

Third Royal Northern Reserve Regiment
Imperial Yeomanry Army Ordnance Corps.

Rich  age  30

Aldershot Military in Stanhope and Wellington Lines
Aldershot St Michael Hampshire.

Hoping he is Samuel Rich b 1871 Dudley Worcestershire.

               Help greatly appreciated,
                         Jackie.

Hmm, that all sounds a bit confusing Jackie. 

Can you post the census image (the relevant part anyway) so we can see the original?
It just gives a surname?
And you have 3 completely different regiments/units listed there. Ive never heard of Third Royal Northern Reserve Regiment

Hello Neil
              Thankyou for replying.
I have'nt the foggiest of how to send the image-sorry!

All it states is surname + age (the same for everyone on
                                                                       page)
All I can add-although probably not relevent is...

1891 Living at Dudley Worcs 20 single general lab.

1892 Married at Dudley

1901 Dudley  His wife head of family married + 2 children
         
      Perhaps it's a bit of a long shot thinking it's the same
one , but have searched 1901 census.

                        Jackie.

Hi Both

What we have here is a case of lazy emunerator. All the names on this page are aged 30, with just a surname, and no place of birth.. All the men on the next page are aged 25! Then 20. So I think you can discount the age as being incorrect.

The regiment is the “Royal Northern Reserve Regiment Imperial Yeomanry”, which was probably a reserve/training establishment. Looking at Kevin Asplin’s site - http://hometown.aol.co.uk/kevinasplin/home.html here were four Richs in the IY but none of which was called Samuel.
