The census done before 1901 was 1891. You can look up this at your local libray/records office/ LDS if you live in the same area that you are looking on the census or if you put all the details on here I am sure some kind soul will look it up from Ancestry for you. Good luck.

Tell us what you know (or think you know) for 1901.

Carol Info on all the censuses is on this site - click on Resource Centre on left-hand menu, then Getting Started to find it. Usual reason people can't find relatives on 1901 is that they have been incorrectly recorded or transcribed. For example, my Smoothy relatives were indexed as Lenorthey! I still have some relations unaccounted for. Give us details - other people may be able to track them down for you. Helen
