Default David Williams,Bootle,Liverpool

I'm wondering if a David Williams who lived at 5Park Grove,Bootle,Liverpool was my great grandmother's brother,he was born about 1865 in Bryncroes,Caernarvonshire the son of Robert and Jane Williams of Ty Chapel Galltraeth,Bryncroes,would it be possible to find him at the Bootle address in the 1901and 1911census?to find out if he was married and had children.

In 1911 a David Williams lived at 5 Park Grove, Bootle. Aged 46, so right age.
However, he was born in Caeruys, Flintshire, so it doesn't look like your chap.

There is a postcard here to my great grandmother's brother,Rowland Williams who lived at the Bootle address in 1905,so I was thinking that this David was his brother,could Flintshire be a mistake?is he in the 1901 census?,David had a brother called Rowland and the ages match.

I doubt it is a mistake as the householder filled out the 1911 census form himself/herself.

There are lots of Williams families in Bootle.

On the 1901 census at that address, David Williams' birthplace is also Flint Cairwys.
(edit - I see Elizabeth got there before me!)
