Trying to trace the following persons all born Headington, Oxfordshire. Charles Morris(1860) Elizabeth Morris(1867) William Morris (1854) William (widow aged 35) was living with his Brother Charles and his wife Elizabeth in 1891, I can find no trace of all three of them in 1901..any ideas?

Have you checked for deaths?

Yes can not find any firm matches, seems strange in 1901 Charles would have been 41 Elizabeth 34 and William 47 surely they would not all have died between 1891 and 1901?

Unlikely they all died, but they could have all caught the 1890s flu virus or been killed in an accident together. More likely they are mistranscribed. Can you post exact details you have for 1891?
