Find Ancestors

I am researching my Grandfather who was known as Henry Snelling, born in Lambeth in1890 .I have found him in the 1911 census where he was serving in the Grenadier Guards based at Westminster. After he was discharged from the Army in 1917 due to injuries he received in France, he lived for a short time at 6 Orbain Road, Fulham,SW6.
However , he does not appear in either the 1891 or 1901 census. According to his marriage certificate , his father who acted as a witness, named WILLIAM SNELLING,was an electrician who I am also unable to trace..
I am very anxious to find Henry's parents and any siblings he may had.
Any information out there, I would be very grateful.
Brian.

That's what's throwing me! I can't find them in 1891. Grrr.

I don't see them either Maureen. Tried every combination and variation I can think of. Perhaps they were on the way back to London on census night lol.

I think so,too! (It beats bashing my mouse against the wall like I really want to. :-| :-| :-|)

Brian,

"he lived for a short time at 6 Orbain Road, Fulham,SW6."

Is this from a document of some sort??

Chris..you may have found Lydia..grown quite fond of that lass.

If anyone has access...the London School thingies on Ancestry only seem to turn up (for me) records for Wm.Thomas, Esther and Lydia.

Maureen

Don't know if you noticed Gins, there was another child registered at the school 29/10/1894, Alfred (dob 5/9/90) father william, both children's address 11 Ropeyard Rails - not sure if I've got this right.

Same day Alfred registered, 2 Reeves children were registered from the same address - can't read one of the names but the other is Mary (b1888), father George.

Yes,Gins and Flip.

It's just that darned address.

And the occupation.
None seem to fit...we've got a carpenter and a blacksmith/ boiler maker.
