Welcome to Rootschat Woodlander!!!

At the moment I don't think anybody will be able to help you with your look up request.

This is for two reasons. Firstly, the 1861 census in notorious for being the least transcribed of all the census years. Furthermore, (in my opinion) Hamphire Genealogical Society do not seem to be too interested in census transcription projects. Their 1851 census is complete but their publication system is not very good, they have not produced a CD-Rom for this census yet.

Nevertheless, I hope there is someone out there who can help you.

Best Wishes

Amy

P.S. As you know the address you want to look up up can always try contacting the Record Office and asking if the will check the relevant pieces for you.
