Thank you Minnie it is definatley the same person and you have found a couple of names that I did not know about, Robert Common aged 1 in the 1891 census but does not appear in the later 1901 census. Also a Janet Common aged 9 in the 1891 census who would have been 19 in the 1901 census, prephaps she got married and left home.

Thank you again,
Gordon Common
