They're on the 1911 Summary Books, although not in the full 1911 records:

Oliver Mr
in the 1911 England Census Summary Books
Name: Oliver Mr
Number of Males: 1
Number of Females: 1
Household schedule number: 220
Street Address: Vine Cottage Quarry Street
Civil parish: Torpoint
Ecclesiastical parish: St James
County/Island: Cornwall
Country: England
Residence Year: 1911
Registration district: St Germans
Registration District Number: 291
Sub-registration district: Antony
Sub-Registration District Number: 1
ED, institution, or vessel: 9
Neighbors:
Piece: 800

Lots of other names on the Summary Books are also missing from the full 1911 records.

Comparing the Summary Books entries with the full 1911 records as shown on Ancestry -
the full records jump from Sydney Vintner at Udal Garth (on image 18 of the Summary Book, and image 418-419 in the full records of District 9) to Peter Broad (image 19 in the Summary, and images 420-421 in the full records of District 9), whose address is 1 Harbour Street on the summary. In the full record his address is written as 22 Harvey Street, corrected to 1 Harbour Street.

Between those two people in the Summary Book there are households on Upland Terrace, Florence Terrace, and Quarry Street, including Vine Cottage, which are all missing from the full records.

I was away from my home PC so did not want to reply until I could check my records. Thank you all for your help. it seems strange that they do not show up anywhere on the 1911 census, still maybe they will appear sometime

Hope the poster returns - he hasn’t looked at replies on his two earlier threads!

In 1921 they're suffering from one of the many mistranscriptions.

The transcriber has somehow amalgamated them as one person.

This is the free basic search result - you'll have to pay-per-view to see the full details.
Best in this instance to pay for the image of the original, as the transcription is clearly messed up.

Can anyone help me find these two on the 1911 and 1921 census. I believe they live in Vine Cottage, Quarry Street, Torpoint, Cornwall. I have traced them on all previous census but have not been able to find them on 1911 one. I realize that not many have access to 1921 census so am not holding out any hope there.
