I tried the 1881 census too, also with no success, and I did look at all listed in a 2 year band, but I noticed that sevearl of the other Savages had Irish connexions. If his second wife was born in Dublin, what about the possibility that the whole family went there, met second wife there perhaps (or met her in England then went there) and spent some time there before the children returned later on. You could of course also try Scotland and perhaps military connexions, but I would certainly look first at Ireland.
