Meath Street. Dublin

i wonder could anyone shed any light on this. I am doing research on Meath Street in the 1901 census and using the browse option-Dublin, Merchants Quay, Meath Street I find that there are no houses listed before number 26. Thoms lists houses 1-25 so I am wondering where they have got to on the census. I get the same result in the 1911 census.

The portion of Thomas Street west of the junction with Meath Street is in Usher's Quay Ward, as are some of the addresses immediately to the west of Meath Street (e.g. Hanbury Lane, South Earl Street).

I looked first at Usher's Quay in 1901, and found nothing of Meath Street, but Lo! - it's there in 1911: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/Usher_s_Quay/Meath_St_/.

In 1901 perhaps it feel through a crack between two wards.

Shane, thanks it all helps.
Did Thoms publish in 1901? I was in Tallaght library and Thoms 1901 was missing from the collection.

I dont think they missed any years, but I suppose it's possible

next one I have is 1904 if that's any good...

p.s. I think I may have seen a 1901 - but didn't bother with it since it the same year as the census

just checked my notes, there was definitely a 1901 edition - one was offered for sale last year
