The 1901 census for England is available online, if that helps.
I recently attempted to trace my paternal grandfather's ancestry. He came to England from Trinidad during the 2nd World War. It seems that his father was from Aberdeenshire, in Scotland (where a small village bears my family name). His mother was from an old West Indian planter family. That would be interesting to follow up but might require a trip to Barbados. I had better start saving for the flight!
