Montague Norman Martin born 1871 in Bromley (Farnborough) Kent (2a 349)
Married Mary Jane Spence in Bradford in 1891 (9b 159)

I have him in 1881 in Kent, 1891 and 1911 in Leeds but in 1901 he is missing whilst his wife Mary and family are living with her sister in Leeds who had become Eliza Taylor: -
Enumeration District 30
Municipal Ward HOLBECK POLLING DISTRICT 31
Parliamentary Borough WEST LEEDS
Registration District HOLBECK
Archive Reference RG13
Folio 31
Page 30
Piece Number 4204

1911 reference where he is present 10 years later: -

Enumeration District 31
Registration District HOLBECK
Registration District Number 502
SubDistrict Number 1
Census Reference RG14PN27207 RG78PN1554 RD502 SD1 ED31 SN258

Please can anyone find him in the 1901 census? I would like to know why he was missing and why his wife and family were thus living with other family.
Thank You
Tom

It could be a possibility, but he was only a mechanics labourer, unless he went over there for work? Thank You for looking it was very kind.
