My Great Grandfather, Arthur W Common b1851, is not on the UK 1861 census record.
I have now located an index record of a Arthur W Common on the Baltimore Passenger Lists, 1820-1948
Departing from: Liverpool, England and travelling to Baltimore, Maryland.
Could someone check what year that event was for me please ?
This might help in working out where he was in 1861. He was back in Halifax, Yorkshire in 1871.
His father helped to set up a UK Building Society, (Halifax Equitable), so financially he would probably have been able to afford such a trip.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for that. It looks like it wasn't my Arthur W Common then. But at least I now know.
