Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The 1901 UK census was taken on Sunday 31st of March, so he should be on there some where!. The only way he wouldn't have been noted was if he was out of the country!. You say his dad was in the forces if his dad was stationed here in the UK then again both father and son would be on there somewhere!. Has your grandad got a common name, have you got the right person!?, I would do another check if I were you or throw it open to the researchers here on the genealogy forum , we love a challenge!. Hope this helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It could be the case that in 1901 your grandfathers, father got stationed abroad, and it could well be that the family went abroad too for a time!.
