Hi there - If you are in the London area or able to come down for the day, there's a family history library in Southwark which holds all of the census information for the area, as well as other info you might find helps. You do need to know the street or area your relatives lived in. From my experience they didn't tend to move far from where they grew up in those days. All the details for the library are here: http://www(.)southwark(.)gov(.)uk/CultureHeritage/HistoricSouthwark/LocalStudiesLibrary/ Hope this helps:)

Christine Just found it, Southwark is in the London census in 1851, but Blount Strreet wasn't there then. If you don't get any offers, keep a look out and I will put on the boards when I get my 1871. Lynda
