On Findmypast it is.

Or a long trawl through the ED sheets on Ancestry.

Hi
I have been trying for a long time to find my g.grandfather on the 1891 census .
They are transcribed as Smell on the 1901 .

The reason i asked was that there first child May Smelt born 1895 was born at 5 Providence Place ,Alicia st Scarbrough .
I have just been going over my paper work on this lot and noticed in 1881 census her grandmother was living at that address on her own and her grandfather was living somewhere else .

I probably should not ask this but why would Stephen James be known as Charles in 1901?
