Subject: Thorne twins on 1881 census

I tried sending this message the other day but I don't think it went through. Forgive me if it did.

I'm descended from a Hannah Thorne, identical twin sister of Annie, born near Tiverton in 1858. Although I've located both of their future husbands on the 1881 census, I can't find either of the twins anywhere. I've looked under every possible variant of the surname and every entry in Devon for a wide range of years for both Christian names, but for the life of me I can't find them. It doesn't really matter as I have Hannah's birth certificate and have managed to go back a couple of generations using the 1851 Devon census, but it is annoying me. Any ideas?

Cheers
