Missing from the census?
Hi. Does anyone have any ideas on how a family can be missing from a census? I have ancestors who are on the 1861, 1871, 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses (at the same address) but I just can't find them in 1881. The name is James/James and Mary Evans so not much room for a major mis-spelling. Are there any free sites where I can check by address? I'm only a paying member of Ancestry.com and they're by name only.

Re: Missing from the census?
I believe Find My Past allows you to search by address.
Very occasionally pages are missing.
You might try looking at neighbours to see if they appear in consecutive census.
