Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Using 'FamilySearch' URL's to find household members.

But - she is on the same census page with parents, William and Ellen.

The problem with doing this - if there are two families with the same name it would get dreadfully confusing because they'd get mixed up. Meaning you wouldn't know where one family finished and another started.

Does that make sense ?

Pels.

Firstly, thanks for the 1861 extracts above.

Secondly, 'Pels', I wouldn't be surprised if the 'other' Sullivans were related to one's I'm interested in. Do you know if they were in William Street as well?

I just have a feeling that there is some sort of correlation between the URL's and "something" in the census; probably relates to street address.

Census and Resource Discussion / Using 'FamilySearch' URL's to find household members.
« on: Friday 02 November 12 15:46 GMT (UK)  »
I'm using the 1861 Census search on familysearch.org for the name of Sullivan in Glamorganshire. Have found one name (Daniel) at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M7BC-9L8 and believe his wife (Betzy) to be at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M7BC-9LD.

Daniel is shown as the Brother to the 'Head' and Betzy is shown as the Sister-in-Law to the 'Head', and I'm wondering if I can use the URL addresses to safely find other members of the same household, as I've noticed that the only difference between these URL's for Daniel & Betzy is "...9L8" & "...9LD" respectively, so I'm wondering if I can safely use all the other URL's that end "...9L*" as being from the same household???

If this works on the 1861 Census, would it work on other years????
