depends what criteria you use. find 1891 census, add two words - firstname =EDGAR and resident= POPLAR then look down the list. just make sure you use the most unsual name. try it. You dont HAVE to put something in every box

Found it, you are a star. What took you minutes, has taken over three hours. Thanks again!

have added some brackets so you can understand he deffo called himself harry in 1901 1891 ref is RG12; Piece: 329; Folio 56; Page 24; GSU roll: 6095439.

Would you be able to give me the reference please. Thanks

Thank you for this. I am a bit confused as where does the name Harry fit in at the end of each name. The father was definitely Henry and not Harry - sorry if I am being dim! Gill
