UK Census Online:
http://www.ukcensusonline.com/index.php
It belongs to the same company as The Genealogist site, and presumably uses the same census transcriptions as them, but you can do a free search, which will show occupation and birthplace (as well as name, age, and county). The free search will only search on given name and surname but you can use wildcards or choose the name variants option.
An annual subscription for census only is just £54.95 and for census plus BMD Index is just £69.95, which look pretty good value. There is an annual sub for BMD indexes only which is £39.95 but I don't think that would be worth taking up. (Given the name of the site, I doubt that they are expecting to sell many BMD-only subs.) There are also monthly, quarterly, and six-monthly subs but they work out quite a bit more expensive over a year than the annual ones. Details on here:

Must be worth a try if only to see if any of those missing rellies turn up! Though the free search is pretty limited and I have to say I can't find some of my rellies on there who I have already found on other sites.
