So to re-confirm William Henry Allbutt in the 1901 census is my brickwall. Can't find him anywhere.

William H Allbutt married Rose Eleanor Palmer 1896 in Birmingham. She died in 1906 in Birmingham so perhaps not!
-
Many young men of his age were actually in South Africa at the time of the 1901 census fighting in the Boar War.

Thanks Gibel, I spotted that Palmer marriage too and had my hopes raised. But a no go because William married my great grandmother Amy in 1904.
The missing period for William is 1891-1903, either in Birmingham or West Derby (Liverpool).
It could be possible that he was involved in a conflict in South Africa Mo, but have no evidence to that point. He would have been about the right age.
The search goes on...
Best regards,

Searched the Boer War 1899-1902 records on the FindMyPast website. No result for any William Allbutt's or W Allbutt's (with variants selected).
