I have an Albert Edward Holland on 1911 census living Coventry. He is age 30 and a metal turner. His wife is Edith Annie (nee Jordan) and son George age 5. Younger son - also Albert Edward - is with his Jordan grandparents. As Albert is 30 on 1911 census I take him to be born late 1880 or early 1881. He puts his place of birth as Wood Green, London.

I have searched and searched for him on 1901 and 1891 census returns inputting Albert Edward Holland, just Albert Holland and Albert E Holland and an 1880 (+/-1) year of birth and Wood Green London as place of birth. Nothing. My knowledge of London districts is nil and I have no idea which registration district covers Wood Green.

I then tried freebmd for births of Albert Edward Holland from Mar 1880 till Dec 1881 London - nothing. This is a real mystery to me as the information on the 1911 census was in Albert's own hand and he himself supplied the information and one assumes he knows where he was born !

Unless I can find the elusive Albert I cannot proceed any further back. Could anyone guide me as to where else I can look or what else I can do. Thanks.
