Thanks Ann, it's the sons of Albert that I'm really trying to find. Richard was my husbands grandfather and I've been searching for ages trying to find them. Finding Florence for me is helpful so I know where she was in 1911.

Thanks

the name is actually Abbiss. There was also a sister who is not on this census but is living with another family at the time of the census, her name was Dorothy Helen Abbiss and she was living with a family named Clarke. I can't seem to find her in 1911 either.

On the 1901 census Albert E is a widower and I think his wife maybe died giving birth to Dorothy although I have nothing to prove this. Albert married again in 1908 but it doesn't make it any easier to find him or his sons.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you
