Unfortunately there is no comprehensive published or unpublished list of streets, or other place elements, missing from the census.
However, we hold some detailed street indexes for London districts, which confirm that all of the returns for the Berwick Street sub-district of St James Westminster are missing from the 1841 census." - May 2016

| Death |
26 Nov 1856 |
Lambeth, London, England [2, 23, 24, 25] |
| Age: 64y |
| Cause: Fractured ribs by falling accidentally against a chair |
| Address: 24 Tenison Street |
- From Peter Wales who found the entry:-
The cause of death is strange in death certificate which was signed by the coroner who I would imagine would have carried out an autopsy, in view of the unusual circumstances of his death.
Even in those days you would not be expected to die from fractured ribs.
I have had a number of these, one of them a double fracture, mainly through football injuries and the hospital do not even take X rays of the injuries.
Also apart form the initial injury which is a bit painful. there is only discomfort for the next 6 weeks until they are healed.
If he died from complications as a result of the injury, why does the certificate not indicate it?
I will try to check Coroner's report/details of inquest next time I am in London but I am not very optimistic that I will find anything.
The address death occurred is 24 Tenison Street, in the area on the south bank of the Thames between Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges.
The cemetery records indicated that Moses was living in Soho, prior to his death, so probably it was a friend or relative's house and will try to check 1851 and 1861 census to find out more.

Oct 2010 - Checked 1851 census for the address where Moses died but he is not listed there - unsurprising as we have him with his wife already.
