Yes, I've browsed both Street & Mews and there are a few damaged pages (not enough to make them unreadable), but none missing. I'm beginning to wonder if they somehow evaded the census altogether.
It would be easier if I knew when the father died, but there's no birth or death registration for him that I can find. He also married under the surname Collins - his mother's maiden name - although he was born after they married and I have no idea why. Amelia the mother was my grandmother's aunt and she had a funeral card for her showing she died in Charing Cross Hospital in 1896. The daughter is living with a man called Arthur Golding in 1901 and had a son by him the following year, but never married him. The son was convicted of indecent assault aged just 10 and he vanishes after his spell at the reformatory.
