June, if that is him and he's a soldier how do I go about finding if he was away working for 1901 census. Do you know how to find information regarding army personnel? thanks

Yes June, that's the right one but after that I can't seem to find him. On his marriage cert his occupation is 'attendant'. His wife worked in an asylum and I found her on the 1891 census but I can't find him working there. he seems to have disappeared!

Hi June The birth is correct but the census can't be right. He married Fanny Maria Clarke in 1898. I have the marriage cert. He was 25 when he married so he would only be 28 years old.

Hi, the other day I was asking for help in finding the above person. I was given help but unfortunately it all came to nothing. I have since found more information and was hoping that somebody can help find him on 1891 and 1901 census. William John B Blake b.1873 Norfolk father Henry Blake a brickmaker mother Susannah Boast (B stands for Boast in his name). married Fanny Maria Clarke in Epsom Surrey 1898. I can find Fanny in Sutton, Surrey on 1901 census but cannot find William. How would I find out if he was in the armed forces and serving abroad? I'm thinking this as I've searched for days and cannot find him. Many thanks Margaret
