Could someone with the index please look Up( in the 1871 Census):

Esther RAMSDALE, Bn C1860 +/-2, Born Wigan, Lancashire, Living: Wigan, Lancashire, Daughter of Robert & Rachael.

I did find the above myself, but I only have a Guest Sub so can't get the Ref details (so, that I can look the entry Up on My 1871 Lancashire Census Discs!).
