I am trying to find John Wyatt born 1882 Bethnal Green on the 1901 census. I have his family on the census RG13, Piece 285, folio 54, page 23, schedule 178. some of the brothers are missing from this census but I have managed to find them as they married and are living with their own families but I am unable to find John. Any search ideas for ancestry welcome. Gwen

Is this your family in 1891? Name: John Wyatt Age: 8 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1883 Relation: Son Father's name: Fredk Mother's name: Ann Gender: Male Where Born: Bethnal Green Civil parish: Bethnal Green Ecclesiastical parish: St Jude RG12; Piece: 260; Folio 65; Page 35 Household Members: Name Age Ann Wyatt 35 chair caner Fredk Wyatt 36 chair maker Fredk Wyatt 15 printer George Wyatt 4 Henry Wyatt 7 John Wyatt 8 Joseph Wyatt 13 carver Richard Wyatt 1 William Wyatt 10

Yes that is my family but cannot find john on 1901 still trawling Gwen

Are you confident that he would be on the 1901 census somewhere? Christine

I think so I have also been trying to find a death for him between the 1891- 1901 census and came up with nothing so far. I cannot think where else I can look for him? He would have been 19 so I would expect him to be married or dead is that a good assumption? Gwen

By age 18-ish, he could have gone to sea or be a soldier away abroad somewhere? Have you tried any of the sites which might turn him up? Kevin Asplin's for the soldiers, and Documents Online / National Archives for the sailor? Christine

I'm going to have to go to bed now! Can't keep eyes open and Husband has started telling the time aloud - always a bad sign! I think you're in for the long trawl, otherwise... putting in minimal info (e.g. 1st name, year of birth ±1, and part PoB: 'bethn*') and looking in the list of hits for oddities which could be yours. good hunting! Christine

thanks christine I am going to bed also will have to continue this tomrrow and try the sites you suggested. Thanks Gwen
