I've been going around in circles, chasing my tail and still got nowhere, so I'm wondering if you clever folk can help please?
Selina Towers was born in 1890, baptised on 1st March 1891 in Fryston (Fryston Ferry, Yorkshire). Her parents are Henry (sometimes Harry) and Sarah Ann nee Bennett.
Also the same day Selina was baptised a cousin was baptised David Towers, same place, parents Joseph and Amy.
Selina had an older brother, Harry born 1886/7 in Kimberworth Yorkshire.
For The life of me I cannot find these children on the 1891 census!!!
I've found their parents together in Ferry Fryston under the mistranscription of Lowers, Selina and Harry or David aren't with them nor are they with the Towers or Bennett grandparents.
Selina was my G Grandmother, so all subsequent info I have, I would just love to find her in 1891, so any help is greatly appreciated:) thank you.

Hi Gins,

Gins,
You been on the vino? Lol :-D
Think their going to stay hidden, the only other thing I thought was that maybe the 2 couples didn't realise they had to include their children in the census??!!??
It's a strange side to the family; Selinas father Harry married Maria Liveley in 1905. Maria had a son Arthur, Arthur and Selina married in 1912, confusing.com!!!
The 1911 original transcript for Harry and Maria is very helpful with added info.
Thanks again Gins, and thank you Maddie too.
