Help please - can't find Arthur Stubbs on Ancestry

I am trying to find an Arthur Stubbs born (according to 1901 census) in 1869 in Norwich, Norfolk. In 1901 he is married (in 1895) to Elizabeth (Waller) but they have transcribed him as Shibbs (I know this is correct family due to daughters being right - Elsie and Ethel).

Now I cannot find him in 1891, 1881 or 1871 at all. I can find a birth in 1869 in Norwich and may just order that and be done. Also, I have not yet got his marriage certificate and that will at least tell me who his father was.

Can anyone find anything for me?

Thanks, Kate xxx

As mentioned, I have not got this yet - was trying to get on without it but I will probably order it tomorrow. GRO are taking ages at the moment!

Thanks
