Hi Trevor, Still trying to help but not much to suggest ,have you definitely ruled out the two John O'Donnells on the 1901 search here? I know they're not in the right location but people often moved long distance for work, my Irish relatives did so.

Marriage Dec 1910 O'donnell John E Palmer Lily Staines 3a 36 He might not have been in England in 1901. O'Donnell is an Irish name, so he may have come over after.
