I recently spent a very long time looking for people in the 1851 census and it was only after posting the question "is some of it missing?" that I learned parts of this census were not filmed, but I was told some people may have indexes.
I am looking for anyone with the name DEAVILLE, DE VILLE, DAVILL (and about another 30 spelling variants!) in the Salford and Manchester areas and would be very grateful if anyone could help.
Many thanks.

The 1851 Manchester & Salford census was badly damaged by water and illegible, but the M & L FHS used ultra violet light to recover 70 - 80% of the records, these are the Unfilmed, the remaining records were either missing or too badly damaged.
Anyway I have found these, hopefully they will be what your after.
1851 Regent Rd., Salford Unfilmed
27 Back St.
Sarah Deaville Head W 57 Shop Keeper Alton, Staffordshire
Catherine Dennerley Lodger U 37 Seamstress Isle of Wight
1851 Greengate, Salford Unfilmed
9 Pleasant St.
James Burton Deauville Head M 29 Stationer Manchester
Ellen Deauville Wife M 29 Salford
James B Deauville Son 1 Salford
William Deauville Son 3M Salford
2 Simms St
Smith Deaville Head M 31 Letter Press Printer J/Man Salford
Ann Deaville Wife M 33 Salford
Jane Deaville Dau 7 Salford
Maria Deaville Dau 5 Salford
Mary Deaville Dau 2 Salford
William E Deaville Son 5M Salford
Hope this helps

Wonderful! Thanks again Dave - I didn't have them!
These are not exactly 'my' family...yet! With so many spelling variations on the name I have ended up doing a kind of unofficial one name study to try and link them all together and hope that in the end they turn out to be 'Dabill' of Nottinghamshire!
Thanks again - every bit helps!

You are doing a great job! I know about Alfred being a policeman but didn't have the details, and a few of the other names look familiar too. I will check them all out and follow them up as best I can.
Many thanks again.

I looked for the name DABILL, no luck I'm afraid.
I did find these:
1821 - 1822 Manchester & Salford Directory
Eli Deavill Grocer Norton St., Salford
S & E Deavill Grocers 44 Hanging Ditch, Manchester
Smith Deavill Grocer Pendleton, Salford
I will keep looking for DABILL
Regards, Dave

Hi Dave,
I don't think you will find any Dabill in Lancashire. You might find De Ville, Devile, Deavell, Deyville but nothing with a 'B' in it.
In the Nottingham area they are Dabill, Deabill, Davil and Daybell. In Derbyshire they become Deabell and Deavell, in Staffordshire they are anything without the 'B' and by the time they get to Lancashire they seem to have become mostly Deaville, but there always the totally misspelt Doiuvoilles etc.!
You set me another poser with the Joseph you found in a Trade Directory - Grocer & Tea Dealer. I've been searching for him this afternoon (he becomes a German Yeast Merchant) but I rather think he and his wife Frances travelled quite a lot because I can only find them together in 1861 - and of course not at all in 1851.
He is quite interesting to me because he originates from Leek, Staffordshire, so most likely ties in with some I already have!
Many thanks for these others. I know about Eli & Smith - wonder who S & E were?
I owe you one Dave - in fact more than one!

Jill
No problem :)
Could S & E possibly be Smith & Eli ?
Regards, Dave

You may not realise what a good question that is Dave!
When I said I know about Smith & Eli I hadn't taken particular notice of the date of this entry. The Smith I know about wasn't born until about 1819 so it's hardly likely to be him, and Eli came later. The mother of Smith (1819) was Sarah, and I have a sneaking suspicion her husband was an Eli (from some suspicious baptisms on the IGI) - I wonder if his father was a Smith????
My head's beginning to hurt again!

Hi there,
Many Smith Deavilles are descended from Elizabeth Smith b1740 who married John Deaville b1736 in Leek Staffs. I have Smith b.1773, Smith b.1804, Smith b.1810 and Smith b.1850 on my tree.
