I had been searching for my great grandmothers entry on the 1901 for many months . Couldnt find any mention of her. Had a flash of inspiration and searched for her surname (which is Shrubb) using wildcards Shr** Low and behold there she was, turns out the whole household had been mistranscibed as Shruff. I have sent them a correction email. But am so chuffed with myself thought I would share it wilth you just in case you have a brickwall with the 1901 too. Good luck all .Regards Penny
