Thanks to everyone for there input. It was only Lydia and her siblings missing on 2 census that I have not got. I have researched all the Saysell family linked to Lydia but only have a real interest on the Aldens who are my direct relations.

I sincerely thank you all again for your help and your time but Lydia seems not to want to be found on those 2 census :-D

Can't seem to find Alice's birth. That might be close to the 1891 census.

No, malyon.

~that's a different Percy.
The one I mentioned before, born 1889, was the son of Lydia and John Saysell.

The one you've found in 1891 census is a brother of Lydia.

That is the marriage I have for them. The whole of this family are proving a nightmare as other members are nowhere to be found either. Do you think it possible that these census records have been mislaid or destroyed as it is the same period of time that I am having problems with.
