Mills family Aston 1851

My Great grandmother Sophia mills was born 31st July 1856, in Villa Street, Aston Manor

I have the 1851 census for Birmingham, with no name index. I expected to find the Mills family easily, guess what? I haven't found them!
They are William Mills Journeyman Pump Maker, I think he was an employer, saw it in a trade directory, when they lived in Great hampton Street, can't remember the year.
William's wife was Sarah, nee Inwood
If anyone comes across these 2 in 1851 I'd be so gratefull if they would let me know. I can help with Gloucestershire genealogy in return

Thanks
