I'm looking at a record for a Samuel Blaney in the 1891 Census - he's living on his own I think and age is given as 20. The record above his is for the address of Rose Hill. It's in the parish of Carshalton and the schedule number is 272a. I have a downloaded image of the original record.

I can't make out the address at all, is anyone on here good at reading these?

will take alook at the original image cos that can be enhanced.back in a mo!!

It is Rose Hill at the top.
On his line in the brackets it either says near stables, or new stables
The household above are in the coachman's cottages, so it makes sense, plus his occupation is groom domestic.

He is living on his own, but the double line for a new dwelling is under him, so he must be in part of the coachman's cottages

its Rose Hill -Coachmans cottage .Nr Stables

looks to me like 'new stables'
and he's a groom
would fit I suppose - didn't they usually live in a room above the stables?

I read it as

'Do ( as in ditto) then 'over stables'

I think "over stables" is correct Gwyn, having looked at it again

Thanks very much. Could you also clear something else up, ad I'm having trouble reading another census record. I'm not sure if it's the right person yet, but I'm looking up an Eliza Blamey in the 1891 census. I looked on Ancestry and found a record listed as -

----------------------------------

However when I click to view the image, it doesn't seem to match that at all. in the Image I can see 13 Palace Garden Mews with Eliza, 2 sons, 2 daughters (one with different surname?) and a boarder. All the people are listed in the record above but I can't see the additional people from above in the image, and certainly not for that address. Has it been transcribed wrong, or am I reading it wrong? I can email the image if anyone wants to take a look.

The extra people are on the previous household entry.
If you go back one page you can see them.

They have been added to your family in error on the index. Only the top person on that page should be included with the previous people.

I thought I was right but still learning exactly how to read these things!

Thanks to everyone for your help.
