Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 293 Send Message	1891 census look up please. I have Stephen in every census up to & including 1881.but am unable to find him in 1891 on FMP. 1881... He was at 9 Grace Rd. Croydon with wife Rose A (Ann.) He was a cordwainer/shoeman. Rose died June Q 1886 in Croydon..... Stephen died in Mar. Q 1896.... So he must have been somewhere...Just unable to find him. Am hoping a fresh pair of eyes....... Please ...Could some kind person look on Ancestry for me . Thank you....... Margaret
