I'm pretty certain one of the families I am researching was in Manchester in 1851. If anyone has any of the 'unfilmed' 1851 census indexes could they please check for Sidney Stead (born c. 1820 in Dewsbury), wife was Mary, children Ann, Sarah, John & Mary. Many thanks.

Hello lxndr,
I think that I have good news for you. I think that I have found them on Ancestry ;D
Address:
73, Ravalo St. (the address is crossed out, but there are 2 schedules (2 families) in each house, and the enumerator initially wrote each house number twice, and then thought that each house number should only be written once, and crossed out the second time he wrote the number, in every case, so although the address is crossed out, it is in fact the correct address.
Civil Parish: Ancoats
Ecclesiastical Parish: St. Barnabas
HO 107/ Piece number, 2225/ Folio number, 708/ Page number, 13
Sidney Stead, Son (whose? it does not say ???), Unmar, 32, Musician; Born: Yorkshire
Mary Stead, Daughter ( ??? ???), Unmar, 32, Mangle Keeper; Born: Yorkshire
John Stead, Son 4, Born: Yorkshire
Robert Stead, Son, 2 months, Born: Manchester
Ann Stead, Daughter, 12, Born: Yorkshire
Sarah Stead, Daughter, 7, Born: Yorkshire
Mary Stead, 2, Born: Manchester
The children have been listed as boys first, girls last, hence the strange order of their ages. The 2 youngest were born in Manchester.
Obviously, the enumerator was tired out, and put "Son" and "Daughter" insted of "Head" and "Wife" for the parents.
The husband has been listed under the amazing name of...drum roll please......(and for a musician)...........
Ladies and Gentleman, can I have a round of applause for...... the one and only.... "Stoney Stead"
;D ;D ;D
