I am still trying to find Henry Dipple (sometimes known as Henry George Dipple) born 1856 - I have him on the 1881 and on the 1891 cenus. He remarried in 1898 to Fanny Jane Randall, but I can't find him on the 1901 Census. I have found Fanny Jane Randall - she is living with her brother and she is down as M - which I presume means married. Also his son Henry E Dipple born 1880 - he has also dissappeared on the 1901 census - Aliens? Maggie

Hi Ruth, Yes I've tried Harry - I think - maybe I'll try again. I've tried so many things to find them that I'm now forgetting what I have tried. I think I've just found Henry born 1880 registered in Sept 1879 as Henry Edmund so maybe I'll try Edmund! Maggie

On the 1901, I have found a Harry Dipple age 34 living at 68 Broad Street, Bromsgrove with Amos and Eliza Crane. There is a blank for relationship to head of household, and Harry is a bread maker

Hi Carol, My Henry's would be aged around 22 and 45 in 1901 so I don't think this could be one of them. Henry born 1856 was a packing case maker/carpenter born Bethnall Green and Henry born 1879 - I don't know what his work was but he was born in Leyton, West Ham. Thanks anyway, Maggie

Sorry Margaret, can`t add up. I have been doing so much on the 1891 that I forgot I had gone forward 10 years. Its the thought that counts
