I had a thread previously on this subject but thats now fallen off the last page.
One thing I forgot to say in the last thread which I have added to the Wiki is that there are many youngsters in the Home Child Index that were both born and sent between the censuses so do not appear on any Uk census so it is worth searching the database even if you do not have a known missing ancestor as you may find a relative that you did not know existed.

Personally I am proud to have one in my tree, part of me wishes I could back in time to the day she left England so that I could just reassure her that she will not be forgotten and to say goodbye.
