The 1891 Census for England was taken on the night of 5 April 1891. So he would have been unmarried on census night.

7th June 1841 30th March 1851 7th April 1861 2nd April 1871 3rd April 1881 5th April 1891 31 March 1901 June registration month would cover a marriage at the end of March as well as Apr/May/Jun so could have been married on the census.

Fiona is mistaken, a marriage is registered on the day of the event, so will appear in that quarter, it is a birth registration that can overlap into the following quarter since 42 days are allowed for the registration. Deaths are usually registerd within a matter of a few days. Jennifer

So if Joseph is shown as marrying in the June quarter, he could have married early April before census night. Gwyn

Gwyneth, your are correct, but it is unlikely that they would have married in those few days, but possible I agree.
