Are well that rules that family out then. Thanks for looking Andy

I wonder if they went abroad?

Yes I think that 1891 census you found is my family. The family that Andy found could be mine as well. I will have to checkout where Gedney is in Lincolnshire to make sure it is in the right area.

Thank you for helping me.

Thanks Andy

That could possibly be them.

I will make a copy of this and add it to my notes to check out later.
All the best
