I've got one like this & I'm going to have to wait until 1911; no my worse it's a woman & I don't have an occupation.

You have 2 possiblities here

a) you can trawl through every Henry John on either 1891 or 1901 & look for a shoemaker

b) you have an address for 1911, you could request a copy of the 1911 census for that address & hope he was living there.

I can't see a Henry living in Aldershot in 1901. If he married, I'd suggest you get the cert

Thanks Wendy for Ellens occupation.

I have no other info regarding this Henry.
All I know is that he was living at Perowne Street Aldershot in 1911 . Dud,

Hi. Bit of a guess really. I was assuming his age would be about the same as his 'wife'. Dud.

Dud do you have Henry John's marriage cert or are you just guessing his age?
