Hi I'm trying to find the right William Taylor who married Elizabeth Jane Champion in 1898 in Swansea Glamorgan. I can't find him on any cencus as all I know is his father was also William Taylor but do not know his mothers name.Be great if someone out there can help! Many thanks

Details about Elizabeth would help find them in 1901 - if you haven't?

Births Jun 1873
CHAMPION Elizabeth Jane Swansea 11a 650

Do you have names/birthdates for their children?

The idea is that finding him in 1901 could give birth details for him.

What were his age and occupation when he married? Father's occupation?

No middle name, unfortunately:

Marriages Dec 1898
CHAMPION Elizabeth Jane Swansea 11a 1383
TAYLOR William Swansea 11a 1383

William was 26 when he married and his father is written as a mason on the marriage certificate. I have looked at 1901 census and he isnt at his home address with elizabeth and his daughter Alice, he was deceased by the 1911 census. I couldnt find him on the 1891 which made me think as he is down as collier on marriage ceert perhaps he worked away.
