Many thanks to everyone for looking at least I know I'm not going mad! Will have to order a certificate to get any further with this one.

I think you're going to need one of the certs to find out his father's details, at least. Reg

Just had a quick look for you Clare and I can't find him either. What are his parents names, have you found them?

He probably is on other census records, most likely mistranscribed - have you tried different spellings of his surname or searched just on his christian name and date/place of birth?

I have been searching for my ggrandfather David Henry Lappage b 1873 in Maldon Essex. I have found him on the 1901 census but none previous to that, how & where can i search to find him? Does that mean that he was out of the country? The only other thing I've found is his birth entry. Appreciate any help thanks
