Find Ancestors

Trying to find Richard Rostron on the 1891 and 1901 Census, born in Bolton Lancashire England c1861. Found him on the 1881 Census living as a lodger at 60 Bull Lane Bolton, think he would have married soon after, I have found one marriage to a Mary Ellen Jones in AMJ 1882 but can't be sure if this is him.

Thanks Chris

Thanks Ann

You have it right, he is on the 1871 with the family and then on the 1881 he seems to be lodging, I can't find a death that fits in with his age, so I am assuming he married, perhaps he is one of those that is mis-spelt, it seems I am not the only one having difficulty finding this person after 1881.
