Royal Family through the Censuses
« on: Friday 27 July 07 19:06 BST (UK) »
Hi

Can anyone tell me how to search for the Royal family in the censuses?

Found them ok in 1841 & 1851, but cannot find them in any of the others. Have tried using various search names & words but not come up with them!
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
Mrs F

I think QV shows up as Empress of India in a later census.

Try Googling, I have seen a site that IDs all the census years with some narrative thrown in.

Now heres your challenge - find Victoria and Albert's Civil Marriage GRO entry  :D

No, never seen that actual doc, but have seen articles about the wedding - a neighbour was interested last year, so out of idle curiousity I looked for the GRO info, found it was considered to come under the rules of such, but could never locate  ???

Hi all  :)

Mrs Food - the 1861 census reference is RG9/653 48 1  :D

(I can find Napoleon III, occupation Emperor of the French at Chiselhurst Kent in 1871 but can't see the Queen!)

1881: "The Queen"
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1881&indiv=try&h=426775
RG11/1325 98 1
 "My dear, I think the English pronounce it 'appiness"  

I'm afraid of no ghost
