1881 census for a Wright family.

[mrsericnorthman]

hello, i've been researching my tree and came across a family who lived in wales. the parents are joseph wright (1840, ruabon) and jane (nee hughes 1842 corwen).

their daughter, my 2nd great grandmother, was born in 1867 in birkenhead cheshire. the problem i have is i can't find any of them on the 1881 census. with the info i have by 1881 they had 8 children. Mary Ellen b.1865, Henry b.1868, Sarah b.1870, Sam b.1872, Charles b.1874, Rosanna b.1877, Lily b.1878 and Edith b.1880.
In 1871 they're living in Corwen in Merionethshire and 1891 they're living in Wrexham.

Can anyone help me find them in 1881? It'd be much appreciated.
