The British Government took the 1891 Census on the 3rd of April 1891. The records are now available on line together with those for 1871 and 1881. The URL [web address] to start searching these records is http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/census/. The records for 1891, like those for 1881, seem to be more complete than those for 1871.
This page summarises, on a household basis, some of the Inkson information from the 1891 records:

| William Inkson | Son | blank | 11 | Durham Sunderland | Scholar | |
| Frederick Inkson | Son | blank | 7 | Durham Sunderland | Scholar | |
| Margaret Inkson | Grandmother | Widow | 74 | Durham Sunderland | blank | These three entries are an enigma : Inksons but born in Sunderland? Entries use 'ditto' a lot so something can easily be entered in error and then the error repeated.
The first is probably Cicely's mother who was Margaret Goodrick; the second Cicely's brother Thomas Smith Goodrick who was registered in Sunderland in the Jun quarter 1861 and hence about 29 years old at the time of the census; the third is the right age for George W Goodrick who would be Cicely's nephew. Perhaps all three were submitted by one of Cicely's children and then the relationships make sense. |

Naturally the first entries are of interest to the writer's family: they were selected on the basis of Lynn, Norfolk as being the place of birth. However, please feel free to let us know about any additional information that you may get from the census - or comment on relationships - and we will gladly add it here.
