Census are not area related - they are the whole of England. You just have to search for the person. They will be on each census unless they have died. Don't worry, we all have to start somewhere!

Pink For future ref - censuses for the whole of England and Wales 1841-1901 are on Ancestry online and on microfilm/fiche and computer at the Family Records Office. Additionally, each county records office will have the relevant part of each census for their county - and often parts of bordering counties where the boundaries have changed. nell
