     Anthony Durkin has not been located in the UK Census of 3 April 1881.
     It is probable that Anthony and his family were with the Army in Ireland. When it came round to the Irish census of 1881 and 1891, the potential value of keeping the original returns had, perhaps, been recognised and they were retained after they had been analysed. Sadly, a later decision to pulp them as waste paper was taken during the First World War and none of the originals survive. Neither do any transcriptions for these years. In other words, there are absolutely no records available for either the 1881 or the 1891 Irish census.
