Well I'm stuck then Carol. Sidney wasn't born until November so perhaps they lived somewhere else. I assumed they were still in Kent as they wre married in Dover and had their child in Canterbury. Even if I couldn't find William I thought I'd find his wife with a name like Minnie Eliza May!!!! Thaks for trying Paul

Carol William's occupation on the birth certificate is a Barrack Labourer

The census was taken 5th April 1891 so Sidney would not be on there. Only just conceived

Thanks Carol I wondered if some of the census records were missing for this area. I think the family may have ended up in London as their son Sidney did marry a Londoner. I have Sidney's birth certificate here and the details are as I said. What date was the census done. perhaps they somehow missed it. Paul

I have just searched for Adkin in Kent and only 6 returned. Most are living in Crayford and one in Belvedere, but none are the names William or Minnie. Was Canterbury in another county then?

Can anyone help me trace my GGrandfather. He married in Dover in 1885. Had a son Sidney 13/11/1891, but I can't find them in the 2001 census at all. they lived at 12 Alma Street Canturbury in 1891 and the names were William and Minnie Adkin. I can't send for his birth certificate until I know roughly what year he was born. Thanks Paul
