Just a thought - have you checked for mistrans as "Little" or "Johns"?

Hi the Edwin Littlejohns you have there with occupation as a builder of theatrical contents born in Plymouth is Edwin juniors father. Edwin juniors occupation was also a stage carpenter.

Yep I have all the births and deaths etc thanks.

Just can not find him in 1881 grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So frustrating.

Do you think they could of just been missed off? His wife Leonora is also a real difficult one, as I can not find her in some of the earlier census' before she married Edwin . She was actually the first cousin of Sir Alfred Gilbert, the famous sculptor.

this is him in 1891

it is quite common for the Littlejohns name to be mistranscribed as you can see above. But I have tried various alternatives with no luck.

perhaps I should just except I am not going to find them in 1881.

there appears to be some damaged missing pages in St George Bloomsbury (which comes under stgiles) , as I found this on ancestry

http://content.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx=view&r=5538&dbid=7572&iid=LNDRG11_319_323-0191&fn=&ln=Record+from+1881+England+Census&st=d&ssrc=&pid=14601319

so perhaps they are in amongst those.

They dont appear to have moved far on all the other census do they so it seems likely thats the problem. I wonder if find my past may have them though?

nudge

yep tried that no succes :o(
