Dear Ann,
Thank you for your reply.
The only census I have found him on is the 1911 - he is aged 40 named Albert Charles Evans and born Lambeth. His age varies on his army papers, his marriage certificate and his death certificate.

Hi Linda

His father's name and occupation (from the marriage certificate) might give us a better chance of helping you find him on earlier censuses.

Best wishes

Caroline
