Is she down as a widow aswell as head?

My great grandfather Thomas Collicott is on the 1891 census living in felix street bethnal green working as a railway porter,on the 1901 census my great grandmother Fanny Collicott is listed as the head and still living at the same address,l have assumed that he must have died during those 10 years,but l can find no trace of his death.any advice would be really appreciated, the only other thing,is fanny and most of the family seem to have been buried in Manor park cemetery,l havent been there but l have a few memorial cards.but not one for Thomas. Irene Buckley

1901 she is shown as M and not W - so I presume Thomas is still alive Maureen

The image shows her to be 'married' Reg

There are these two deaths in the London area that might be possibles:- Name: Thomas Caldicott Estimated birth year: abt 1836 Year of Registration: 1912 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar Age at Death: 76 DISTRICT: Islington County: Greater London, London, Middlesex Volume: 1b Page: 200 and Name: Thomas Parker Caldicott Estimated birth year: abt 1831 Year of Registration: 1907 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec Age at Death: 76 DISTRICT: Camberwell (1837-1919) County: London, Surrey Volume: 1d Page: 412 Kath. x

His death does not appear on the transcribed records from freebmd, so you will need to register with Ancestry to find his death. You will need to view each image, until you find one which you think is correct.......slow, but free! Reg
