Hi researching Frederick Mortimer born in 1873 died in 1946. He married Amy Fortune. They came from Broughton Gifford near Bradford on Avon. I was trying find out who his father was. Any information would be helpful. Thanks Jane

I am not sure that is the correct one

I assume this is yours in 1901
Name: Frederick J Mortimer
Event Type: Census
Event Date: 31 Mar 1901
Event Place: Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
Registration District: Bristol
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Relationship to Head of Household: Head
Birth Date: 1873
Birthplace: Broughton Gifford, Wiltshire

There is a different one in 1901
Name: Frederick Mortimer
Event Type: Census
Event Date: 31 Mar 1901
Event Place: Portsmouth, Hampshire, England
Registration District: Portsmouth
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Birth Date: 1873

I think that is the one one the 1881 census above
