I've spent ages this evening and can't solve this problem

I've got a Charles Percy Cains born 1865 Lambeth and can track him through the Census until his death but not on the 1891

The spelling of the surname has altered to Kanes.

He married 1887 Bloomsbury to Sophie Woods and she has died between 1887-1897 but I can't find her death.

Can anybody see him on the 1891 because I can't. I assume he will be Kains

Thanks

1881 Charles P. Cains nephew aged 15, a tailor, 31 Kingsgate Street. Bloomsbury, with his Uncle William John Cains

1901
Charles Kanes 36, cab driver.
Florence Kanes, wife, 24 born Lambeth
Percy Kains son 2
Family living 11 Kiver? Road Islington

A minute behind you again, Choccy!

Edit: I don't feel so bad, Cathy's a minute behind me.

I wish I was as quick as you ladies!

Yes, that's him.
He has altered the spelling as he married as Kanes and his children from his second marriage are Kanes.

I've put an amendment through for the marriage on the London records as they had the groom and brides name incorrect.

Thanks Choccy.
The death ties up as she was 25 when they married in 1887

Thanks Somerset Girl
It sounds good to me on the 1901.

I wouldn't have been able to do that without your help

Update
Just had a brain wave. I searched for birth and death of Kanes 1887 (when he married) and 1888 (when Sophia died)
There is a Henry James Kanes born and died Mar qtr 1888 St.Giles.
I couldn't see a baptism but there is a burial of a Henry James Kanes 15th Feb 1888 St.Giles, son of Charles Percy.

That means Sophia must have died from childbirth problems, as she died in St.Giles as well

Result!


Much appreciated
