I recently posted a question on the Lookups forum as I was unable to find a family on the 1901 census although I could on the 1911. I got a great reply from Kay showing this info:
1901 - 59, Lobley Street, Heckmondwike, Dewsbury
Herbert Walker 28 Manufacturers Clerk Liversedge, Yorkshire
Marn Ann Walker 28 Bradford, Yorkshire
Hilda M Walker 6 Liversedge, Yorkshire
Percy Walker 4 Liversedge, Yorkshire
Edna Walker 1 Liversedge, Yorkshire
Frank Rhodes Brother-In-Law 27 Hairdresser Gomersal, Yorkshire,
Emma Rhodes Sister-In-Law 27 Bradford, Yorkshire
The image looks like Hubert Walker

I am certain that is the missing entry, the names are correct as are places and years of birth (even though the name says Herbert when it should be Hubert).
HOWEVER, I have the marriage certificate for Hubert and Mary Ann (on Dec 10 1892) and it very clearly shows her maiden name as McDonald. Again I am certain the marriage is the correct one.
That being the case, who are Frank&Emma Rhodes? Who's Brother/Sister-in-law can they be?
Baffled :o

There is an interesting Frank Rhodes in the 1891 census (it says born 1877 Gomersal rather than 1874) but he is a hairdresser .... anyway, have a look at the family which contains a number of Rhodes and Walkers.
I think it is the right Frank - age looks like 16 though obviously transcribed as 14 hence the anomaly in year of birth.
