Did you mean 1831 or is it a typo?

Anything before 1841 is of little use to genealogists, even if it survives, and often only give the head of household, with little or no other info.

See cambs FHS website

http://www.cfhs.org.uk/EarlyCensusIndex/index.html - they appear to have Ely St Mary 1801 and 1811
