Found this interesting article about missing pieces of the 1841-1911 censuses.

Ancestors living in Deal, Kent in 1901. You may be disappointed.

It seems that Bucks came off lightly. Only Illmer missing, BUT some pages have been included in Bledlow. I wonder if they know that.

My Coombs ancestors residence in 1861 is missing. It was in St Pancras, London. It would have said something like this

23 Colville Place, St Pancras, London.

William Coombs, aged 32, Head, printer, born Westminster.
Clara Coombs aged 25, Wife, born Shoreditch.
William Coombs, son, aged 1, born St Pancras.
