Grimsby 1891 census look up please?

[dawnuk57]

I have a John William Smith born 1858 Grimsby married to Ellen of Grimsby. Could anyone look up in the 1891 & 1901 census records please to find their children? Thanks in advance

I think they married in around 1881 Grimsby?

The 1881 shows him as a sawyer

There is a 1901 entry aged 45 occ sawyer but he is married to Mary A b Grimsby 1866

Hi Carole W, he was the son of my GG grandfather, John Smith b abt 1832 Barnoldby Le Beck Lincs, married to a Jane Todd in 1855 Grimsby. John William had several brothers & sisters mostly born Grimsby. I thought i found my John William married to an ELLEN? Maybe her name is wrong? I looked on the 1881 census & found a John William Smith married to Ellen with no children, then i free bmd i found a marriage of a John William Smith to Ellen Gavin in 1881 Caistor, i could be wrong here.

His wife must be Mary A then Carole, i will try find more about her. Where there children named on the census please?

[dawnuk57]

Maybe he married Ellen first before Mary A? It looks in the 1881 census as if i have the right John William Smith b. 1858 Grimsby married to Ellen of Grimsby? Oh i hate doing my Smith tree lol

Just looked in 1881 census again & he was a saw sharpener so i think we both have the right John W Smith, must have married twice dont you think?

[CaroleW]

I think Mary could be his second wife in view of the age gap in the children

1901 as follows for Cressey St Gt Grimsby.  All b Grimsby except James

John Smith 45 sawyer
Mary A 35
Thomas 19
Margaret 18
John 11
James 9 b Beverley Yorks
William 7
Mary 3
Annie 1

I'll check in Yorks for the 1891
