hi i just found an index entry on the 1871 census which i think is my 2x great grandfather, but the census image is so faint i cant read it. wondered if anyone had the 1871 on disk that could give me the address and other info? The name i am looking for is William Franklin - age 18 born clerkenwell the info of the ancestry census image page, if it helps is Schedule no 132 Source info RG10/392 registration area Holborn ED4 folio either 29 or 79 (cant read my own writing lol) Page 18 really grateful for any help thanks julie

Hi Julie Have you tried improving the quality with the advanced viewer? I think i can make out most of the details: Robert Franklin Head age 51 Widow Painter born London city Henry Franklin Son age 20 Labourer born Clerkenwell William Franklin Son age 18 Mantle Cutter born Clerkenwell Stephen Franklin Son age 14? Errand Boy born Kent ? ? (could be Helen) Franklin Dau age 9 Scholar born Middlesex St Luke Albert Franklin Son age 8 Scholar born Islington Samuel Franklin age 6 Scholar born Islington Address looks like no 8 Owens Court. Hope this helps Sharon xx

Hi Julie Not a problem, you are more than welcome. I have also found that if you save the image and print it out you can sometimes make more sense of it. Take Care Sharon xx
