Hello I was just wondering if anybody knows whether it is possible to search the census on ancestry, using information such as the piece number and enumeration district for the 1851 census? I am trying to find an ancestor but have had no luck, however I do have a street address listed on his burial in 1852 and thought it may be worth to trawl through the census by street.

Many Thanks
Stephanie

Can't see why not


The 1851 specific Census search page has search fields for:-

HO107/ Piece
Folio
Page #

and, you can also browse by:-

County
Civil Parish
Sub-registration District
Enumeration District
