Greetings from Norfolk (UK)
Have just started trying to trace my father's relatives - he was born
in Bolton in 1894 or 1895, christened Thomas.
He joined the navy during the first world war, and at the end left in
New Zealand. He returned to UK some years later, but before 1938.
He had a brother, Peter I think, who married and lived in Lyndhurst,
Hampshire, and had a jewlery shop.

Any help would be much appreciated

you can search the index for 1881 as a freebie
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/census/uk/default.aspx and familysearch.org


I used Keyword(s) Bolton
with his name

this is NOT proof but candidate for your tree

you need to check from other sources you have the right great aunts and great uncles
or parents from his wedding certificate

the ease of doing this research on line is a trap for the unwary
try and verify each step from three independant sources - family records and wills for example
