The 1911 census is here:-
www.1911census.co.uk
It's free to search but you have to buy credits to view the transcriptions or images.
The 1881 census is free on www.familysearch.org so you will not find it on GR.

Do you use a secure server for payments?
Yes. We take your security very seriously. We use Worldpay, part of the Royal Bank of Scotland group to process your payments on our behalf and their site is well protected, using the latest encryption technology. We do not store your card details anywhere on our servers.
Can non-UK residents make payments and use the site?
Yes, customers living outside the UK can purchase PayAsYouGo credits online using a credit or debit card, in the same way as our UK-based customers. Payments can be made in your own currency by selecting the relevant option in the ’Choose currency‘ drop-down menu.
How much does it cost to view an image?
Viewing the images of the household pages uses 30 credits, which costs from £2.50 to £3.48, depending on the package of credits that you buy.
The images have all been scanned in very high quality colour – all previous censuses have only been available in black and white – giving much clearer images and greater legibility than previous censuses.
For this price you will also be able to view all the associated images for the family: this includes both sides of the household form ( RG 14); the page from the enumerator’s book,which lists the head of household for all the neighbouring buildings; summary statistical pages for the registation district and details of the enumerator’s walk (RG 78). For most searches this means that you will get at between two and seven images for your 30 credits.
How much does it cost to view a transcript?
For 10 credits (which cost between 83p and £1.16, depending on the package you buy) you can view a full transcript of everyone in the household, or a whole page of an institution. This compares with £1 to view a whole household on the official 1901 site, which was launched seven years ago.
There is also more information contained within the transcript this time around. You will get details about the length of the marriage (which will help you find registration details of the marriage). We have also transcribed every field of the census to enable very flexible searching.
Your paid images and transcripts are saved automatically in ’my records’, so you can return to them whenever you wish by logging on to the site, without needing to pay again.
For more information on credits, see About credits.

Joy, me being a bit of a dibbo, I have some explorer credits in hand.which allow me a bit of a discount,
IF I buy the (discounted)Explorer + 1911 does that mean that I can access any amount of transcription,/ original images at NO extra cost?
