Trying to locate a family on the 1861 census

The family i am looking for are the DUKES family.

DANIEL DUKES born 1833 in Lambeth, Surrey
ELLEN DUKES nee GILMORE born Sep 1885 in London, Surrey
MARY ANN DUKES born 1860 in Lambeth, London, England

Daniel and Ellen married 29th July 1860 in Lambeth and Daniels siblings and family are in the area.

Any help would be great

??


England & Wales, Criminal Registers, 1791-1892 about Daniel Dukes
Name: Daniel Dukes
Date of Trial: 9 May 1853
Trial Year: 1853
Location of Trial: Surrey, England
Sentence: Imprisonment


You can read about this here. He was 20 years old which fits, but he was put away for 6 months so should show in 1861.
