There used to be boxes to fill in the numbers, -folio, page etc but I can't seem to find folk if I'm given just the numbers now.
...So I'll wait with you for a helpful reply........

I have just remembered that when you get a census result,such as:-
1901
Nixon Westmoreland Elizabeth abt 1826 Penrith, Cumberland, England Head Clifton, Westmorland
SCROLL DOWN.
