Hi Carol, Not sure - maybe your local Record Office or Library where they hold microfiche of the census would know? Vanda

My grandfather was born in Nov. 1901 and his father was a fisherman. I can`t find him on the 1881, 1891 or 1901 census, neither can I find his wife as head of family. I have my grandfather`s birth certificate, but dont seem to be able to find his parents marriage. Not sure where in the family grandfather was, I know he had brothers and sister. I knew on brother when I was a child. Were fishermen enumerated, if they were at sea at the time of the census?
