I have found relatives on the 1881 census, but when I look at 1891 census 4 of them have gone?
Details...
1881 Jane Warren (Head) B.1849 (6 Wagner Street, Peckham, Camberwell)
Living with 8 children.
1891 George Warren (Head) Jane Warren (Spouse) Same address.
Now only 4 left (youngest was born between cencus).
They are all young girls. Workhouse perhaps? Too early for the Blitz.
I cannot find any of them recorded after 1881.
Can anyone throw some light please?

First rule of searching..try to kill them off first!!!

I "lost" seven members of one family and spent a fortune looking for them on scotlandspeople!! Where were they? ALL DEAD between the censuses!
