Laura is listed as Head of the family, but note she is Married. John must have been away from home on census night. I did have a look but there are hundreds of John Taylor's listed!!!!!
Perhaps you could order the marriage certificate first which will give you his age, then you will know how old he was in 1881. That will narrow the search down a bit!
Hope this helps
