I'm sorry but 1911 census requests are not allowed - please see here:

The index is free to search and there are lots of suggestions on this thread:

Have you found her on earlier censuses?  FreeBMD has a reg. for Laura Grace, Q2 1881, Brighton RD, (2b 250)

Would this have been one of the artistic Grace sisters of York Road Hove, one of whom was a local school teacher.  If so, I believe there is a lot on them in Hove reference library, including a collection of their drawings.  I remember one vividly, it was of a girl in a sailor type school uniform sitting on the bench seat in front of a bay window.     Roy G

Hi Roy
No the Grace family in Hove are not related,been in touch with the Dr quirke many years ago,there is no connection.
I know all about the Grace family,its just Laura Louise
She was witness to her sisters marriage in 1916,she signed in the name of Louise Grace.I thought maybe she would turn up in the 1911 census,I have tried everything else.Wondered what happen to her from that year.
Thanks
Maralyn

The fact that you were searching for Laura Louise in 1911 made me think you already had her on the 1891 and 1901 censuses, but on checking back I had difficulty locating her on either of those  Is she the Louisa that appears in Brighton on the 1891 and where was she in 1901? 
If you have not got her on the 1901 either, could she be the Laura Ellen Grace aged 18 that died in the Horsham district in 1899?   If so, the Louise Grace that turned up as a witness in 1916 may not have been a sister, but a sister in law, 
If none of these are her, it may help if we knew the names of her parents, and any siblings (with their rough ages)
