I was wondering if some kind person could look at the census image for this person please:

Austin Johnson, born 1856 in Brazil
Living in San Diego, California.

I'd be interested in his occupation, parents places of bith & when immigrated (if this info is included)
Also the same details regarding anybody he's living with if possible.

Thank you

Jonesey

Thanks for that, I'd lost track of him after 1871 - but I think this could be him %3A-D

Yes, in 1901 he was a lodger with the Gibbins family. He was born 23 Sep. 1855, South America and emigrated 1891. He was a waiter. Religion was Roman Catholic.
Johnson Gibbins was a vet surgeon, born England and emigrated 1882. His wife and son were born England and emigrated 1890. Daughters were born in British Columbia.
Should have mentioned Gwynn was a son. (Hmmph! My mother's name was Gwynn!)

[immig 1882 (Florrence/Gwynn 1890) addy=635 Granville St - half a block from today's city centre]

Burnaby (where Gladys died) is a suburb east of Vancouver - the only hint you've moved from one to the other is that you cross Boundary St.
