Finding a previous page on 1891 Census

I have found an entry for Harriett TILLING Age 16 Domestic Servant, living in Uffington, District of Faringdon, Berks. on the 1891 Census.

My query is that she appears at the top of the page and I'm trying to find out who she was living with/working for at that time. I assume this will be on the previous page under the head of household in that entry.

Any tips please on how I can find that page?

Are there little left and right hand green arrows at the top of the screen?

Or is there a box saying which page you are on out of the number of pages in that section?

Not sure what site you are using so I'm not sure what you can see.

I am using GR to do my search, using the details as above but with Harriet spelt with one t. There are no green buttons to move forwards or backwards as the record is page1 of 1.

Linda,
Are you able to tell me which site you used to do you search?

I used GR to look up Joseph Bailey and I noticed that there was a line left blank underneath the Bailey family. I am assuming that Hariet Tilling was on the top next page. Is this correct and if so why would they skip a line?

If you look at all the images it seems that this enumerator always left the bottom line empty. Probably just so the last line doesn't look crowded.

Ancestry is by far the best site to use for research.

It was ancestry, like many people on here, I find it invaluable and have an annual subscription. You can get a fourteen day trial for free. You can also pay monthly, but that works out to be more expensive
The cost of an annual subscription seems to vary, there have been a few threads about it on the boards in the past week. The best price seems to be this one, I have copied the relevant sentence for you

"I was quoted £83 and just paid £66 last week by going through quidco."
