Grimsby 1891 census look up please?

[GeoffE]

I was going to suggest that she wasn't a niece at all but

Marriages Jun 1866   
GAVIN    Mary         Caistor    7a   1343   
McCABE    James         Caistor    7a   1343   

Births Jun 1867
MCCABE    Mary Ann         Caistor    7a   615

and I guess

Deaths Jun 1868 
McCABE    Mary Ann    (22)    Caistor    7a   353

[GeoffE]

So Mary Ann was brought up by her grandparents I think

1871
Common Lodging House, Moody Lane, Grimsby
Thomas GAVIN 50 Lab, Ireland Mayo
Mary 40 Ireland Mayo
Winifred 14 Grimsby
Hellen (dau)9 Grimsby  (John SMITH's first wife)
Mary Ann (dau)4 Grimsby (John SMITH's 2nd "wife")
Theresa (dau) 2 Grimsby

There was a whole pageful of Lodgers that I won't name, but feel obliged to mention that one was an 80 year old German organ grinder!

1881
10 Holme St, Grimsby
Mary GAVIN (wid) 50 Innkeeper, Ireland
Teresa May 12 Grimsby
Mary A McCAVE 14 Barmaid, Grimsby
Thomas WELLS (gr son) 9 Grimsby

George BOWEN - lodger in 1891 - was lodging at No12 in 1881.

One unanswered question is the birth of James SMITH in Beverley in 1891.

I've checked freebmd but cannot find a Smith / McCabe (or similar) marriage in Lincs between 1891-1901

Several lodgers again.

Mary GAVIN died in 1896, still aged 66  having lost  about 10 years somewhere along the way.

Thomas had died just before the 1881 census aged 54, four years older than he had been 10 years earlier.

I could do with some more help with this family of Smiths please. I have a GEORGE EDWARD SMITH (John Williams brother) born 1871 Grimsby Lincs. I would like to find his marriage & possible children? If anyone has access to 1891 or 1901 census it would be great. Thanks in advance
