Can anyone tell me the reasons why a couple that married 1870 cannot be found on the 1871 census.

Maybe mistranscribed or even not indexed .I cant find a rellie ether on the 1871 that married in 1870 have tried looking at the address when married, at their address on sons birth cert of Oct 1870 and the address they lived at when their daughter was born in late 1871, nothing. My grandfather wasnt showing on the 1901 but a relation trawled around the streets of East London and finally found them on a census page, clearly written, no spelling mistakes .so seems they weren't indexed. Its very frustrating. Shirley

No one had any luck with this one before. Perhaps this time might be succesful
