Hi please can someone see if they can find him on the 1891 and 1921 Census. I have him on all the other census. His wife's name is Annie Pearce. He went by the name Ben.

His parents were Charles Chorley and Eliza Louisa Rossiter.

In 1881 he was living in Southampton.

In 1891 I have him living at 51 North Place, Guildford (Electoral register) but I can't find him on the census. I know he was a hairdresser. I have tried Ancestry but no luck.

1901 and 1911 they were living at 15North Street, Guildford.

He died in 1922 in Guildford.

Thank you for your help
