Please can someone see if they can find Walter Gray on the 1891/1901 census. I thought I had him living with a lady called Alice Martha but I have been proved wrong. Can anyone else find him please. He was born in Winterton Lincs about 1862. HIs father was James Gray and his mother was Ann. I have him on the 1881 census in Gainsborough with his family. Thank you for your help Jane

HI Deb Yes I thought it was him too. His occupation is about right (ie working with machines) His age and place of birth is right but we have sent for his marriage cert to a Alice Martha Cooper and his father is wrong on the cert. I don't not know if this is a mistake on his marriage cert or what, it seemed too close to be wrong. Thanks for your help Jane
