Missing in the 1891 Census

[kenm]

Hi,
I've just about given up on finding some ancestors in the 1891 census and I've tried Ancestry and Findmypast but with no luck.
I'm wondering if there is a section of that census that's missing. Here are the people I'm trying to trace and most of them I've found in both the 1881 and 1901 censuses.

Thomas MASON (single) b. West Ham 1862 Found in 1881 and 1901 Census
Annie HARDINGHAM (single) b. London 1866 Found in 1881 and 1901 Census
Mary Ann MASON (sister of TM) b. Chingford 1860 Found in 1881 and 1901 Census
Harry MASON (brother of TM) b. Loughton 1868 Found in 1881 Census
Alfred MASON (brother of TM) b. Loughton 1871 Found in 1881 and 1901 Census
John Arthur MASON (cousin of TM) b. Woodford 1864 Found in 1881 and 1901 Census

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Ken

Can you post the 1881 and 1901 census for these so that we can try to work round the right families?

Is this John Thomas

1881 Parsonage All Saints Villa, Prospect Road, Woodford
MASON, Thomas Head Married M 42 1839 Merchant Stepney Middlesex
MASON, Hannah M Wife Married F 43 1838 London Tower OF Middlesex

KYSH, Margaret H Sister In Law Single F 63 1818 Jamaica
JENKINS, Elizabeth Servant Single F 23 1858 Domestic Serv Epping Essex
JENKINS, Louisa Servant Single F 19 1862 Domestic Serv Epping Essex

If it is given the occupations, his age and the connection with Jamaica could he have been abroad in 1881

Although if this is him in 1901he could have been a disappointment to his father!

1891 Eversley, High Road, Loughton
LANER, John H Head Single M 28 1863 East India And Colonial Merchant Croydon Surrey
LANER, Samuel E Brother Single M 28 1863 Bankers Clerk Croydon Surrey
LANER, Frances Mother Widow F 58 1833 Henden Middlesex

Looking at the original it could well be Mason
Age of Boarder could be estimate
Occupation matches to cousin

Hi again,

Yes, the 1871 and 1891 are correct. I don't think the 1891 is correct unless they mistranscribed his age and surname.

Regards,

Hi Maths girl,

I've been to my local library where they have Ancestry online and I found the image of the 1891census that you found for me.
Thanks, you were correct - I believe it's the right one. Very hard to read the writing but given that the family were involved with the East India company and that Plaistow is part of the West Ham Borough ( where previous census' have him born) I'm pretty sure it's him.

Thanks again,

Ken
