Please can someone help
I am looking at Charlotte Tagg born 15 November 1877 in Stepney. I have her birth certificate and it states her parents are William Tagg and Sarah Ann Fisher.
I found her parents marriage date and ordered the certificate. It was on May 7th 1866, shows both to be of age and Williams Dad to be James Tagg deceased.
My problem is I cannot find any of them on any census. Not James, William or Charlotte until she marries then appears in her married name. Can anyone help. I have access to all the census' online but have hit a brick wall.
Thanks in advance

1891 Census reference RG12 296 90 23
Transcribed as "Jagg" on FindMyPast

In 1871(A*try) as William SARY age 27 St George in the East.
Not seeing him with a father James anywhere.

Is he the son of James and Harriet Elizabeth TAGG? There's a baptism in 1851 Lambeth saying he was born 1844.

This seems to be the likely scenario:
James Tagg married Harriet Elizabeth Ward 28/12/1835 Spitalfields, Middlesex
Children:
James bp.28/6/1837 Spitalfields (think died 1838 Stepney)
Elizabeth Ann bp.26/4/1840 Stepney
Harriet bp.9/7/1843 Mile End Old Town
William b.8/2/1844 (baptism 16/11/1851 Lambeth)
Thomas bc.1846
Ellen bc.1848 Bermondsey
Edwin bc.1850 Bermondsey
Sarah Louise bp.4/1/1852 Lambeth
1841 - ref. HO107 - 713 - 10 - 43 - 14 in Stepney
James Tagg 25 Painter
Harriet Tagg 20
Elizabeth Tagg 1
1851 - at Bermondsey, Surrey - ref. HO107 - 1561 - 131 - 53
Names transcribed as 'Fagg'
James 37 b. Spitalfields
Harriet E. 34 b. Bermondsey
Elizabeth Ann 11 b. Stepney, Mdx.
Harriet 9 b. St. Georges, Surrey
William 7 ditto
Thomas 5 ditto
Ellen 3 b. Bermondsey
Edwin 1 ditto
Believe that St. Georges, Surrey should have read St. Georges, Middlesex (St. George in the East)
Now it gets slightly odd.
1861 - St. George in the East, Middlesex - ref. RG9 - 279 - 90 - 43
William Tagg 32 (?) Ship Smith (?)
Harriet Tagg 40
William Tagg 16
Thomas Tagg 14
Edwin Tagg 12
Ellen Tagg 11
Sarah Tagg 10
James appears to have become a William, got younger and changed occupation - or is this William someone else. All very strange but Harriet and the children are the same.
James Tagg's own baptism - 1/8/1813 Spitalfields, son of William Tagg (Paper hanger) and Maria.
