Convents and census returns

[RiftGibbon]

Does anyone know how I can search for convents on the existing census returns?
I'm not searching for a specific person but need to create a suitable 'nun' for a piece of fiction.
It an Anglican order, ideally.
My searches for 'convent' are not finding anything obvious and I don't actually know the names of any real convents to look up!

Do you have access to Findmypast? I was able to pull up convent records in that by searching on census then putting convent into optional keywords, then selecting census returns only to exclude electoral records. I don't know what period you want, but by searching on 1850 plus or minus 40 years, I got a few results. For example,
1881 England, Wales & Scotland Census

(Convent), 126, Wyndham Road, Lambeth, London & Surrey, England
has a list of "sisters of charity" living there at that time.

Thanks Saker I do have access to Fmp and your search is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. For whatever reason, putting 'convent' into the optional keywords was not seeming to do anything much.
I'll replicate your search and see what that gives me to work with.

If it doesn't work for you, you could try some of the nun's names in the Lambeth convent I found and that might also bring up other censuses / convents if they moved about at all!
Jane Gibson b. 1836
Mary E Hodgson b. 1839
Alice Gure b. 1849.

Actually I got a lot more results putting in Nun as an optional keyword, rather than convent. However, I think they are probably mostly Catholics.

Thanks Saker - I will look at that as an option.
