Thank you both!
Silly me, he was the brother, not living with a brother.

Evening everyone,

I have found my ancestor William Elmer (b. 1820 in Warboys, Hunts.) on the 1881 census, a widower living alone in Warboys.

On the 1891 census according to FamilySearch he is living with his brother:

name: William Elmer
event: Census
event date: 1891
gender: Male
age: 71
relationship to head of household: Brother
birthplace: Warboys, Huntingdonshire
record type: Household
registration district: St Ives
sub-district: Warboys
ecclesiastical parish: St Mary Magdalen
civil parish: Warboys
county: Huntingdonshire

Would someone be kind enough to see who else is in the household?
Thanks a lot
Beverley
