No it does not make sense at the moment.

What exactly are you trying to prove from the following?

"The Horace Mould who shows on the census with the parents Albert and Eliza is def not my Great Grandfather. I know this for certain because it is my uncles (not blood uncle) grandfather and his great grandfather Albert Mould did not die until a lot later in life."

The certificate you mention is for the Horace in this family

Albert Edward Mould 1866
Maria Mould 1867
Horace Mould 1896
Evelyn May Mould 1895
Walter Henry Mould 1902


Why are you trying to relate to the other Horace?

Adele,
On the 1901 you posted there is also a Henry T Short (age 30) as a visitor in the house.

Taking that into account could this be Albert and Maria's marriage:
Marriages Sep 1888
Moulds Albert Leicester 7a 324
Short Maria Leicester 7a 324

The 1911 census image says they have been married 22 years and had 4 children of which 3 are still living ~ This would fit with Albert Edward being their first son and having died.

EDIT: On the 1901 George Moulds is a Shoe ?Puller? and on the 1911 Albert Edward is a Shoe Rivetter.
My thoughts would be that there are too many coincidences for George and Albert Edward not to be the same person.

I think this is your family in 1891:

Albert Ed Mordds (1866) Head ~ Occupation Shoe Rivetter.
Maria Mordds (1867) Born London
Albert E Mordds (1889)
RG12; Piece: 2542; Folio 44; Page 27

I would guess that George as a first name on the 1901 was either an error, or he was trying out a new name!

And if we assume that Henry T Short (from 1901 census) and Maria are siblings there is this 1881 census:

Name: Henry Thomas Short
Age: 9
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1872
Relation: Step Son
Mother's Name: Sophia
Gender: Male
Where born: Northamptonshire, England >>>> Same location as 1901!
Civil parish: Leicester St Nicholas
County/Island: Leicestershire
Country: England

Street Address: 58 Friars Causeway
Occupation: Scholar

James Hartwell 24
Sophia Hartwell 35
William James Short 15
Maria Short 14 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Henry T's sister. Born London!
Henry Thomas Short 9
Albert George Short 6
Frederick Short 3
Thomas Cecil Cooper 27
Charles Samuel Ridding 27
Class: RG11; Piece: 3179; Folio: 29; Page: 20


Also, i noticed that all 4 childrens births are registered under MouldS not Mould (Albert Edward 1889, Eveline May 1894, Horace 1896 and Walter Henry 1902.)

Thats brilliant!! :-)

Thanks so much for your help everyone. I was about ready to give up!!

Gem, is it def Mordds on the 1891 census? Struggling to find it!

Thanks again all

Adele,
On Ancestry it is MORDDS.
findmypast actually have it as MOULDS (but i searched Ancestry originally!)

I dont know about anywhere else, but you should be able to do a search using reference number:
