Hello
The Wesminster Archives have this on their web site http://www.westminster.gov.uk/archives/
"The 1841 census for Paddington and the 1861 census for the Pimlico and Belgravia areas of Westminster have not survived"
Helps to explain why you cannot find the family in 1861.

My family were in Pimlico in 1861 and I spent ages trying to find them. Then I discovered that the records were destroyed. Very frustrating, but at least it's a mystery solved.

I agree meles - at least you can stop looking!
But why are my relatives always in the missing bits? Part of Paddington in 1841, other parts of London in 1861 and a whole Registration District in Essex (Dunmow) in 1851

For me, it's not the end of the world. It's only one census record missing. And I do have birth certificates from this period, so I do know where they were and don't really need to go to local churches.

Hello Jannorth
I am in the UK, but now live in Cornwall, so am quite a distance from London and Essex.
The missing 1851 Essex census is a real nuisance because it is the first one that gives birthplaces. Also I have a few people who died betweeen 1841 and 1861 and it is harder to pin down the correct death registration.
The missing 1841 census might just have had my husband's East India Company ancestors on it. Their house was uninhabited in 1851 when I am fairly sure they were back in India. I believe the Westminster Archives has some other records that may be of help to me but I need to check.
The missing 1861 census is my worst problem because I had hoped to track down on it a particularly elusive ancestor.
You can manage without the odd census return but it definitely makes finding the correct BMDs harder and you always have that feeling that you are missing something!

I was lucky that my lot were in their twenties and producing children. And the surname is quite unusual. So I looked up births in the area, and when I found a child with the same name as father and grandfather, I took a gamble, and bought a birth certificate. It was the wrong family!  But a second certificate was right, and I managed to trace them that way.
Is that an option for you, Jan? They're not Smiths are they?

I had relatives living on St Georges Terrace Pimlico which I assume was also flattened by the Victoria Railway line, they moved to Lillingston Street, which also no longer exists.
How did you find out that Flask Lane was flattened?
Kind regards
