Title: 1851 CENSUS
Post by: LEF on Tuesday 08 January 08 16:13 GMT (UK)

I cannot find one little branch of my family in the 1851 census but can find them in 1841 and 1861.  Was there some problem generally with the 1851 census?

whereabouts ?

If you know the Parish or Regn District name - you can see the PIECE number(s) assigned, and notes on status and location of originals by searching the Nat Archives catalog - put HO in the Department or Series code box .. and 1851 in the 'date'
