IF you are using GR, you can't scroll
Only on the other sites is the scrolling option available

On GR, the only way is to look up the name of someone on the next page - obviously, this can be problematic.
Some sites let you scroll thru transcribed households:
1881 http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp
1841-1891 (if they're transcribed)
http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
For what's transcribed, click on "details" at:
http://www.freecen.org.uk/statistics.html
If that doesn't cover it, then you can do a free search at Ancestry, but you won't see all the details (but you will see all the names - at least as Ancestry transcribes them). I presume you've already gotten one census image - in the margin you'll see the PRO's copyright slip, and printed on that is the census code and piece #.
So lets say it's this 1891 household
Piece: RG12/2470 Place: Warwick -Warwickshire Enumeration District: 5
Civil Parish: Leamington Ecclesiastical Parish: All Saints
Folio: 110 Page: 25 Schedule: 122
Address: 8 Church St
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surname First name(s) Rel Status Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks
SMITH Lucy Head M F 40 Mattress Maker(Em'ee) Staffordshire - Stone
SMITH Mary Louisa Dau S F 14 Scholar Staffordshire - Stone
SMITH Francis D Son S M 12 Scholar Warwickshire - Leamington
The 1891 census code is rg12 and the piece # is 2470, and stamped on the copyright slip, you'll see RG12/2470. Since this is an odd page #, stamped in the top right corner is the folio # (110 here) and the page # (25 here) is printed on the page.
If you go to Ancestry, and search the 1891 census, and do an exact old style search (the old/new switch is on right near top of web page) with advanced options. then you can enter the census ref rg12/2470/110/25 (the rg12 is hardwired to this search screen) and it'll show everyone one the page (but you already can see this). Now increase the page # to see the next page's names. You can page thru the names by increasing the page #, and every other increase, you'll have to increase the folio # too.
Well, that's fine half the time, but supposing I'd started with:
Piece: RG12/2470 Place: Warwick -Warwickshire Enumeration District: 5
Civil Parish: Leamington Ecclesiastical Parish: All Saints
Folio: 109 Page: 24 Schedule: 119
Address: 33 Church St
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surname First name(s) Rel Status Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks
FRANCIS Thos F Head S M 35 Butcher & Farmer(Em'er) Northamptonshire - Northampton
FRANCIS Elizabeth M Sister S F 31 Book Keeper(Em'ee) Northamptonshire - Northampton
FRANCIS Katherine C Sister S F 26 Northamptonshire - Northampton
FRANCIS Margaret E Sislaw M F 22 Northamptonshire - Northampton
FRANCIS Beatrice Neice - F 5m Northamptonshire - Northampton
Since they're on an even page (=24), there's no folio # showing for them.
If I enter what I know, and leave the folio # blank, it looks like I get abt 6 different page 24s from different enumeration districts within the piece.
I can enter the next page # (i.e., 25) and work thru the names, looking up images with their folio # showing, then subtract 1 from that #, and see if Ancestry shows my Francis's on page 24, so I'll eventually find the Francis's ref is rg12/2470/109/24, and then I can proceed as before.
It's possible, but a bit of a pain half the time, and a bigger pain the other half.

I don't think Susan really wanted to know

Maybe you'ld be happy to just find your
SMITH Francis D Inmate S M 12 Warwickshire - Leamington
on some census.
For myself, I'ld be interested in scrolling back to see what he was an inmate of. Still, it takes all sorts.
