Thank you CaroleW,  :)  I've looked, but cant find any 1871 census returns on that site.* Just tried again and I attempted to view the image files I get a message
Images Available
To view these images do one of the following:
Access the site at a family history center.
Access the site at a FamilySearch affiliate library.


I did find a partial for 1861 via there and a romany traveller genealogy site, but not all of the family as William was not there, nor were some of the children. (Hannah said she was married and not widowed) and Rosie99 has shared a bit of a 1871 census with Nelson & William on it

I was just hoping someone may get better results than me.

As they were Travellers there is a very good chance that they don't appear on the census.
