Thank you all for your help and information.

However, it does not answer my original question: Where can I find the 1921 Census of my grandfather's family in India?
His wife, daughter and son.
We have photographs of the family in India.

I have a full Ancestry family tree with all the other information.

Heseltine: West Heslerton, Malton, Norton
Monkman: West Heslerton & Malton

As previously mentioned I came to the conclusion "civvies" were not included (your original reply did confuse) -

On the 1921 image his name has been crossed out along with three others and the total at the bottom altered. This suggests they were not present on the census date. The return was signed on the 17th June and the census was on the 19th. Could they have been travelling on that date?

The "Return of all Officers and other ranks or ratings on service" (28 pages - William Freeman is on page 1) is succeeded by the "Return of all persons OTHER than serving officers and other ranks or ratings enumerated on the preceding pages" - no names are recorded.

I checked a different regiment in India (2 Batt Shrop Light Inf - 29 pages) who also returned zero entries under "... persons OTHER than ...".
