Census look ups please

[rainbird]

I'm trying to track down Edward Roome born about 1873 who was a miner in the Nottingham area. Can anybody help please?

Also looking for a Gilbert Allen who was a green grocer in Nottingham, could have been born about 1890.

Any help much appreciated!

There were two Gilbert Allens of the right age in 1891 but the other one was in Newark. Does this one look likely?

Many thanks for the replies- these are fantastic!

I'm not certain whereabouts in Nottingham Gilbert Allen was born, Newark is quite likely though, do you have the entry for Gilbert Allen there please?

The other one is actually John Gilbert but his dad is Gilbert - yet another beerhouse keeper!
