You can do it on the 1881 census, but on the others it is much more complicated and difficult to describe how.

You can do an address search on the official 1901 census site but it's pay per view.

1841 can sometimes be searched by address on Findmypast - pay to view site - but that address is not showing for Willenhall

I've looked at the descriptions of the enumeration districts in the 1901 census and there isn't one for St. Peter's in Willenhall.

I can't find a St. Peters in the descriptions for 1851 districts in Willenhall. It seems to be mainly St. Stephen's and Holy Trinity.

I would think so Maureen. I don't know the area myself but they are next to each other on the map.

I've just put an 1841 on Lynda's thread from yesterday in the hope that one of you can help. This is not the census she needs
