A few questions:
-- Have you found them on the 1881 census?
-- Do you think they may have lived anywhere else besides Paddington?
-- Would you have birthdates for your grandfather's brothers and sisters?
-- If not, would you know if they were younger or older than him -- or both?
-- Do you know his parents' names?

The answers may help someone help you -- hopefully.

Regards,
Trish

Marge,

How about this family from the 1881 census? Obviously, Henry is the wrong age but there are a number of matching names...

Address: 137 Maida Vale, Paddington, London
Charles H. RUSSELL Head 43 Club Proprietor
Esther Wife 36
Henry Son 19
Julia Daur 17
Kate Daur 16
Fred Son 15
Horace Son 15
Ada Daur 14
Maude Daur 9
George Son 4
Violet Daur 3
Beatrice Daur 1
Mary L. WHITE Servant 23
Kate DILLON Servant 27
Bettie PHILLIPS Servant 23

This is pretty much the only family I can see on the '81 census which comes anywhere close to matching yours...
