Did you put DH9 0ST where the 0 in 0ST is the number not the letter ?
Post codes are nearly always of the format Letter-Letter-Number Number-letter-letter i.e. AA5 5AA

Exactly what are you confused about?

What page number are you looking at on the census?

I don't know why the Havannah is in Stanley area and not Tanfield area, I only know the reference which I have posted before.

Havannah was a village/hamlet in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Tanfield.
If you go to http://www.durham.gov.uk/recordoffice/dro.nsf/vwebparishes/tanfield+st.+margaret
you will see that the parish of Tanfield covers a large area. Stanley was just one of the hamlets in the parish.

Tanfield was a Township AND a Parochial Chapelry, consisting, in 1890, of the hamlets of Whit-le-Head, Beamish, Tantobie, Stanley, and Shield Row. It had an area of 5,820 acres. Havannah became incorporated in to Stanley as the village increased in size during the 19th century.

Oh Right I understand now, so Havannah was actual in Tanfield and so was Stanley.
