Suzanne Yes that's my family. Thanks so much for your help. My grandad (another Edward)wasn't born till 1892 and he had two sisters also born later. I just need to find out if the Edward in Brecon in 1901 is the same one now. Thanks again. Lynne

Susan, Thanks for the advice. Tracy Thanks very much for your offer. His name is Edward Ford and he was born in March 1869 so he would be about 22 in 1891. He was born in Salford, Manchester. He was a chemical works labourer in 1887 when he married. I have found an Edward on census 1901 living in Brecon who was an Iron worker but not sure if that's him as my Edward's wife and children are living with her mother in Manchester. Is that enough Info? Lynne

The 1891 census is on ancestry.com. You have to pay to access it but there is a free 14 day trial.

I'm looking for my ggrandfather who married in 1887 but is not at home on the 1901 census. Could someone tell me where I can get access to the 1891 census? Thanks Lynne Sale CHS
