Hi - I am trying to find William King b 1833 Hitchin, Herts and his wife, Martha b 1833 Hitchin, Herts.
I have last located them in the 1891 census residing at 43 Ruckledge Ave, Willesden with their daughter Ester & grandson Edward John King. (occp: Platelayer)
I can't find them in the 1901 census, so i thought perhaps they had died?
I located a death on Freebmd for William King June 1901 (3a/137) in Hendon registration district, which i beleived covered Willesden area at this time. However, if this is the William i am looking for, why wasn't he in the 1901 census, which i understand was taken at the end of March/start of April 1901.
I did find a Martha Hing (i think it should be King) in the 1901 census in Bedfordshire who was 74 (born 1827), widower, born in Hitchin, Herts.
I also found a death at Hendon for a Martha King in March 1909 aged 79 (born 1830). But i never found a Martha King living in this area in 1901. (I beleive Williams's parents were Tristrum King & Sarah Newbury)
Can anyone help? offer any suggestions? I am at a bit of a brick wall.
Thanks

Is that your tree on Ancestry?

If you have just found his death in the indexes (rather than purchasing the cert) and it is in the "June" quarter - that means it was registered in the three months April, May or June. Therefore it could have taken place before the census was taken on night of 31st March/1st April but not registered till 1st April.
