Good morning everyone
I am trying to trace an Edward wakeling on the census.
Information I have so far is Beatrice Wakeling born 1878 in Woolwich parents Edward and Annie Light married 1877. Edward is in the Royal Artillery but I can not find him on any census in 1881 wife and children are in military barracks in Gillingham and the next census i can find Annie on she is living with her sister Mary Heath in 1901 .Is there a way I can find out about Edward. Thanking you all in anticipation and hope you are all well

Now I am really confused I found an Annie Wakeling living with a Mary Heath and Amealia Light and Ashley Wakeling in 1901 and according to Free bmd Eward Wakeling married Annie Light in 1877. I know definitely that Beatrices parents were Edward and Annie could you change from being in R.A to being a proctor of a university. I am not quite sure what a proctor is But thanks once again Ginny

Thanks for that, I never thought of trying Waxeling. I just don't understand though why Edward and his wife Annie are living in separate places in 1901. Is it possible that they could have divorced or separated?

Yes, if we could see the 1911 census we could see Edward and Annie are living together or still separate

If Annie and Edward are living separate in both 1901 and 1911 then they must have separated, which seems odd for the times.

Not really. Divorce was very expensive.
