I've had a good look, and no luck whatsoever, sadly. Tried initials, just used location with 1st names, looked for patients/inmates, no joy.
I don't think they are there, but someone else might work a miracle!

Hi I am wondering if some lovely person can find a family on the 1891 census for me please.

In 2009 I posted a message answering for help finding the Dillon Family in the 1891 census but although I had some lovely answers we did not find them only a child in St Thomas Hospital (info below). I took a break from my family tree in 2010 and I have only just return to my research and I am still looking for my Great Grandfather in the 1891 Census. This is the family I am looking for………..

Michael Dillon c1856 Ireland? (On Michael marriage certificate his surname was Dillane)
Alice Dillon (nee Creed) c1859 Clogheen Ireland
Patrick Dillon 24 Dec 1885 Peckham Camberwell
John Dillon 10 Mar 1886 Peckham Camberwell

Alice is living with her mother Norah Creed in the 1881 Census and married Michael Dillon in 1884. Michael died on 17 Sept 1892 in Peckham so the family should be on the 1891 census somewhere unless they went back to Ireland?

I have Alice mother Norah on the 1891 census living with 3 of Alice siblings, William, Patrick & Kate living at 9 Grainger Street Peckham and I have Alice on the 1901 and 1911 census living again in Peckham. So where are the family in 1891 if they are not in Peckham?

I am hoping with all this new information that been added to genealogy over the past 5/6 years someone might have more luck in finding them then me.

Many thanks.
