Many of the census are on https://familysearch.org/ Have you searched on that?

Hi all, I am looking for as many census returns for a
Samuel Long born 1857/1858 Devon. Think Totnes area. Believe he married a Mary Elliott in 1882 in Totnes. I think I have found him on the 1881 census living with his sister - Eliza Northcott (nee Long) and her family. Listed as brother in law and Farm Labourer - age 23. I also believe one of his children to be Sidney Walter Long born 1902 - Totnes. If possible could I have a much details from the census reports as possible e.g. occupation and residence etc. Many thanks
