	The initial response is that he has been mistranscibed. Have you checked if he is with his parents or other siblings? The 1881 is available for free on all sites including https://familysearch.org/ Try looking on there as they may have transcribed it correctly If you'd like to give us more details, we can have a look for you.

	Another possibility is his mother has married/remarried and he appears under hs step father's name.

	Most of these transcriptions come from Ancestry.co.uk. When the majority of us started, GR didn't hold any records but was purely a 'connections' site. No one site has a monopoply on all the availabel on-line records, but old habits die hard ;-)

	His father Henry's occupation is given as Book Edge Gilder (Deceased) on the marriage record. So the 1891 census i posted looks good! Edit......Address given at time of marriage is.... 86 Farringdon Buildings....the family were residing at 189 Farringdon Rd Buildings in 1891.
