All institutions are listed on all censuses. If you have access to Ancestry you can look at the enumeration districts to find out which are covered - usually institutions are in the last enumeration district for an area. Sometimes lunatic asylums only list people by initials, which might be why you can't find some folk.

1881 census' is readily available for each workhouse; but are the others, say 1841/51 etc? Ive a few ancestors missing and would like to check to see if theyre in the workhouse.
