HO 107 etc

[toby webb]

We now have 2 instances where people trying to help us find something quote e.g.
" see HO107 1861 429 p5".
We would be pleased to know how to go about opening that page on Ancestry.
Thanks, T & daughter.

From this link you can select the year the census was taken (Included data collections:)
https://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/group/ukicen

Having selected and clicked year/England etc at the bottom of the page you are asked for Piece - Folio and page

The instance you have given is
1851 (H0107)
Piece no 1861
folio 429
page 5


ADDED - If you have selected the year as I suggested it will not ask for the first bit of the reference quoted as it relates to the census year

1841 - H0107 (reference will also give a book number)
1851 - H0107
1861 - RG9
1871 - RG10
1881 - RG11
1891 - RG12
1901 - RG13
1911 - RG14

Hope that makes sense

Thanks rosie99. I am feeling a bit 'two plankish' for when I add piece, folio & page - exactly in each case, up comes
"Your search returned zero good matches." Is there someting else? T

Is your family in Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire

I have just used the 1851 page and only putting in the numbers and got results
1851

No.
Joseph Cleall 39 dairyman born S. Perrott was living at Symondsbury, Dorset.
If you get Great Gaddesden then I feel that the information given me on Dorset RootsChat is suspect.
Back to the drawing board, but very many thanks for your trouble. T

Using reference HO 107 / 1861/ 429/ 5 on FindMyPast takes me to entries in Symondsbury in Dorset. This was the reference given by nanny jan on your Dorset thread earlier today.

It is Ancestry Jen     

I have just tried again and put that reference in on Anc and nothing else and the image it takes me to is H0107 /1715
