Find Ancestors

I would like to know if anyone can help me with any information about my Grandfather, Frank Vary (he was later known as Patrick Vary) I know he was born in a workhouse in Bedford on the 15th Feb 1902 to an Ellen Vary (formerly Reen). Father Thomas Vary. But Frank does not appear on the 1911 Census. I know he was in the army during the 1920 but that's all. Could anyone suggest ways of finding him, from 1902 to 1920.

just for reference

VARY Ellen 44 Islington 1b 153

slightly out on DOB perhaps?

Births Mar 1867 (>99%)
REEN Ellen I. Wight 2b 533

would suggest perhaps that Frank might be in school (or orphanage ?) in 1911 but I can't find him as yet.

Sandwell James E Islington 1b 792

Same area that Ellen died so a possible 2nd marriage

this is the only birth i can find for ellen reen

Births Mar 1867 (>99%)

I sent a message to Alan but he hasn't opened it yet

Posting this really in order to work forward to see if Frank was with one of his relatives in 1911 ?

EDIT so it doesn't look as if it is this Ellen as she is still at home in 1901 and single
