Hi Lara
We've been looking for William, shoemaker, and Robert and his wife but can't find them on any censuses.
I'm starting to wonder if they were Irish. They don't seem to appear on any censues that we can find.
The 1841 census is free to view as an index:

It might be worth you browsing it to see if they are somewhere unusual.
Regards

Thanks Lynn for the wonderful film link. My wife's grandfather was at the Orphanage c. 1891-1900 & its great to see the place - has anyone determined if the building still exists?

Here's the photos I promised, hasn't really changed that much from the old movie apart from the style of cars. 
Front of Highland Orphanage, 71 Culduthel Road, Inverness
Rear of Highland Orphanage, 71 Culduthel Road, Inverness - the rear area is huge, all of what you see here is part of the orphanage, plus a bit more to my left.
I've also added a link as I have uploaded a few more photos to Photobucket, any problems viewing just let me know.

I live in a house next to what was the "Highland Orphanage" in a modern house. My grandparents live in what I've been told was the schoolhouse and have had many friends living in the main building. All that live on the driveway are generally interested in the orphanage and it's history. Does anyone have more information? I'd be intersted in anything you could tell me.
