Trawling through the births, marriages and deaths indexes (though people alive in 1901 might be in the death indexes 1984-2000 which are searchable on ancestry and give date of birth as a helpful clue!) and looking through the electoral rolls and/or street indexes, hoping that folk stayed at the same address as on 1901! But Freebmd which stops at about 1910 at the moment, will eventually cover later dates. nell
