Welcome to FTF.
The way it works best is if you tell us what you definitely know, and what you are hoping to find out. And one question per thread is also helpful so the answers (and the helpers!) don't get too confused. So, working back from what you definitely know, what's the first thing you want to know?
And finally, answers usually come thick and fast, so it's best if you stick around!Uncle John - Passed away March 2020

Yes, at the moment I think it's your best bet.
FindmyPast also has a lot of stuff, but it doesn't have all the censuses yet.
You can start with the free trial on Ancestry; they ask for your credit card information, but if you cancel before the 14 days are up, you don't get charged. However, you may find you get hooked At present, the Australian sub (UK Heritage) is slightly cheaper than the English one, and contains more or less the same databases.
I just posted some very brief information about each census, but if you join Ancestry you'll be able to see the census image for each person, with the full details (age, place of birth, occupation, etc.). The references I gave you are the Ancestry references.
The 1911 census isn't on Ancestry, and won't be for the foreseeable future. At present it's pay-per-view, and quite expensive, but eventually it'll be available on subscription from FindMyPast.
