Was just about to post same info. re: William
I can't spot family on 1891 census wonder if it's due to where father Henry was stationed ??? ???
Deceased father Harry/Henry’s occupation on Lawrence's m/c non commission officer in Army
On Lawrence’s bp occupation retired non-commissioned officer
William 23 married 20 Apr 1908 St Clement Longsight Manchester

Nor me that makes me wonder if they were registered abroad :-\
Edit ~
possible death of Henry Edward Davenport
Jun 1890 Chorlton 8c 519
Henry Edward Davenport age 60 (1830)
If he's the correct person widowed Annie Davenport should be somewhere with her sons
William born c1882 & Lawrence born c1887 on 1891c :-\
Still not found ??? ???
I wonder if this could be their father on 1871 census
Henry Davenport 41 (1830) London Middlesex
His occupation looks to read Clerk, Pensioned Sergt. Dragoons? ?
Anna wife 22 (1849) Ireland
Harry E 4 (1867) son born Calcutta British Subject

William possibly in Malta.

From what I see/have found:
Son William James Davenport bp'd 1884, home address 54 Geoffrey St.
1881 Census at 52 Geoffrey Street:
Annie Davenport 29 Marr. Housewife born County Down, Ireland
Edward Davenport 13 born Calcutta
Arthur Davenport 6 born Manchester
Frederick Davenport 4 ditto
Margaret Davenport 3 ditto
Son Edward Henry Davenport b.28/10/1866, bp.212/1/1867 Calcutta, India, son of Henry Edward and Annie Elizabeth
Henry Edward Davenport married Annie Elizabeth Griffiths 6/2/1866 Kidderpore, Bengal, India.
Son Arthur's birth registered in 1874 as Arthur Reginald Davenport, mmn Griffiths but then none of the children born after Arthur appear to have been registered.
Henry Edward Davenport died in 1890 Chorlton so perhaps being newly widowed is why we can't find Annie and children on 1891 census (possibly in Workhouse under initials only?)

Sorry don't have access to view details but I wonder..........
Manchester Workhouse Registers 1800-1911
Lawrence Davenport born c1888
Admission/Discharge year 1901
for info.
I thought I’d check others that were baptised in 1887 and also living St Saviours
on the off chance that the Davenports may have still been living at the same address
4 St Saviours Street after Lawrence was bpt. in 1887 unfortunately No 4 is uninhabited in 1891

Lawrence Davenport goes in on August 2nd and leaves on the 3rd. It unhelpfully does not specify age or date of birth, or whether he leaves or dies!
