You can always use a * instead of a letter in the name, including the first letter.    In case of mis-spellings etc. 

In ancestry in 1891 they are Sunman name.

Hi in 1901 they are shown as SINMAN RG13/4503/193/40

I just looked at the 1901 census, and I cannot see them  ???    I'm sorry, I am a bit of a novice and I only have access to one family history site. I can see Sinman listed but not ones that would be Henry/Mary & family.  The district could be either Great Yarmouth, Lincolnshire or Sculcoates(a Hull one).

Well if you use Ancestry they are under SUNMAN in 1901 on that reference I gave!
Henry 1867 Mary 1868 Henry 1890 Mary K 1897 Nora 1898
The same in 1891 on Ancestry they are SUNMAN Henry 1868 Mary 1868 Henry 1889

I use Findmypast, and I have double checked and they are definitely not on their transcript of the 1901 census. So, I guess I will have to pop over to Ancestry to get a print out then. Annoying, as I have credits on findmypast only.

Search for SIMMAN in Hull  ;)

There is a reference search on findmypast - simply click on it and use the numbers keyboard has given you.

They are definitely there in 1901.

The handwriting on the 1901 is terrible - it could be transcribed in quite a few different ways  ::)
