I think I can see the problem. Could it be that his first name has been mis-transcibed. Look again at the census record for 1901 could it be Isaac not Jessie. To back this up I looked on the 1891 census for Greasborough and found him there as Isaac with his wife Mary, several other children two of whom are named on the 1901 census.
Good luck
