If you dont find it, you could 1) Get the latest (2011 or 2001) district shapefile. This shouldnt be too difficult to find I hope. 2) Get a list of how many districts were added between 1991-2011. This is also available with the census website. 3) Then simply merge the 2011 districts into their parent district to get a 1991 shapefile. The only issue will be when a district was created by bifurcating more than one district. In this case, you may want to do some digging using google maps and see which parts came from which original district and then use snap tool in Qgis to just make your own tentative boundary. 4)Centroid can be gotten using the centroid option in QGIS as well. I had to do this in order to get a 1969 shapefile for Indian Districts.
