Find Ancestors

I've found my great grandfather in the following census's 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1911 but lost him in 1901. I've tried everything I can think of. Have any of you any ideas that may help me trace him.

In 1891 he was in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire working he married in 1892 in Lancashire and then in 1911 working in the cotton industry in Lancashire. :-0

His name is William Ellis Lloyd born in Ruthin 1868 to Robert Lloyd and Anne Lloyd.

Do you want pointers in searching or are you asking for a second pair of eyes to have a look.

If the latter, we need his name, DOB etc

ah - I see she's done it :-)
