I too have had a problem finding 77 Shoe Lane in 1861 census. It was run as a coffee house by Joseph Beckwith and his 2nd wife Ann nee Bartholomew. Joseph died in Dec 1860 at number 77 but 4 months later it's just not there (and nor can Ann be traced in that census either).

Any info most welcome please !!

Hi

Welcome to Rootschat

I think it is worth reading the guide on censuses on the London and Middlesex board

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,403512.0.html

Part 3 gives some details on the known sections missing to the 1861 census in London
