Neither Richard Redmond Caton or Anna Maria and mother Francis Rideout (right) have been found in 1841 census. From the divorce reports we know they had been living with Anna's parents in Woodmancote untill 1838, when Rev. John Rideout died, when they move to Brighton.

Early in 1841 they had seperated with Richard taking the daughters to London.
From Anna's letters 2nd and 7th July we have her address' of :-
Brunswick Square, (Hove) where anna's brother Goring Rideout is living and
75 Seymour St, Bryanston Sq. (London) where Richard's parents live.
however neither are with their respective families. The 1841 census was on night of 6/7 June, just 3/4 week previous to the letters so possibly they are in transit that night. However their son is in a boarding school in Oriental Place, just a few street away from Brunswick square.

but still giving Richard redmond Caton as the father
However it became clear Major St. Rose was the father.

A 2nd and final seperation took place in paris dec1843? with Mr.Caton and children returning to England, however the youngest child Mary louisa b.1841 was soon after returned to Anna Maria, Mr Caton having doubts as to his paternity!
