Trying to locate missing REUBENS

I am trying to find my Grandfather REUBEN SHIPP. He appears in 1913 when he married my Grandmother MARY ELLEN SMITH, in BOSTON LINCOLNSHIRE, as REUBEN JESSE SHIPP. Prior to that he appears on no other records. There is a possibility that he was born in MARCH CAMBRIDGESHIRE. His father is named on the marriage certificate as Reuben also and his occupation was listed as a fisherman, although he was dead before 1913. Any information given at all will be very gratefully received.

Hi

Have had a look at 1901 and 1891 census for Cambrisge & Lincs.

can find no trace of Shipp

Possible not English?

Boston was in the 1880 a thriving fishing
post - there is still some fishing imn and around Boston today ( I live in Boston)

Sorry can't be of more help
