Missing 1851 census for Cowley family
« on: Sunday 25 September 16 21:18 BST (UK) »
I am having trouble finding the Cowley family in the 1951 census.  I have searched for all children individually for the census including spelling errors. 

Head is Matthew George Cowley born 1810 London/Clerkenwell  Engraver
Wife Mary Ann Cowley nee Hay born 1816
George W Cowley born 1839
William S Cowley born 1843
Mary Ann Sophia Cowley born 1847
Henry M Cowley born 1848

His wife died in 1854 and they were living at 18 St Johns street Clerkenwell.
But I cannot find it in the census

Hi

Would you just humour me and confirm that there is a typo on the census requirement?

1951? 1851? or another year?
