Is it reasonable..?

I've been trying to find one of my elusive ancestors in the 1901 census on many occasions but everytime I have just ended up with a blank. So many people on GR have tried to help me and still we have not found this guy. I haven't found a death for him either and may even have a possible marriage for him in 1906. It has been suggested to me in the past that perhaps he was away on military service, serving in the Boer War for example. How likely is this? I've not found any members of this family in the army before the First World War and the gentleman marrying in 1906 has a daughter not long after (quickie marriage it looks like...) and his occupation is Builders Labourer. As I still haven't proved this man who married in 1906 *is* the guy I'm looking for (I have 3 people with the same name who are all born within a 15 year period) its possible my guy wasn't the builder's labourer. So is it worth trying to find military records for my man? Is it reasonable to suggest he isn't on the 1901 because he was serving or is it equally likely he was accidently missed off? |
