The Orpanange was a set of 5 "homes" not just one building. The census for 1871 is a collection across the 5 houses.

The New Orphan Houses, Ashley Down, commonly known as the Muller Homes, were an orphanage in the district of Ashley Down, in the north of Bristol. They were built between 1849 and 1870 by the Prussian evangelist George Müller to show the world that God not only heard, but answered, prayer. The five Houses held 2,050 children at any one time and some 18,000 passed through their doors before the buildings were sold to Bristol City Council in 1958.
