Still can't find Hugh Snr. and family on 1861 census

I've tried tracing back the neighbours on 1871 census, and although I can find some of them in other years, I can't find them in 1861 so perhaps there is at least one missing page in 1861. Try the Roberts family from 1871 RG10/5733 folio 12 pg 16 headed by widowed Mary and with daughter Grace age 30.

Thank you all very much & it's very odd none of us can find the family on the Census for that year.
I'm so grateful for all the time & effort everyones has made in looking & for all the other interesting information given
