1841 Census
« on: Saturday 02 June 07 12:32 BST (UK) »
It is seen at the bottom of census pages, but what exactly is HO107 2056 folio 106? (for example).

Just curious btw  :)

Hi Vasquez

This is for the 1841 census only( but the reference given looks like 1851  :-\)

HO107 is the class number for the National Archives where the records are stored: HO = Home Office and 107 is specific to the census.

2056 is the piece number which refers to a specific area of the country, large town for example.

folio 106  - each page in the enumerator's book is given a reference number : folio.  Each folio number covers two pages: the right hand one it is stamped on AND its reverse, so turn it over and it is still the same folio number.

1841 should have a slightly different look - are you sure this isn't 1851 St Paul's district of Birmingham?

Ah, now there you have me stumped.  I've never used that facility so don't know how it works.   :-\  Perhaps someone with more skills than I in searching Ancestry can help you out.  I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Select the 1841 census.
Scroll down past the boxes for birthplace to the scetion that is headed "Census"
Type your numbers in the boxes
HO 107 is already there
Piece is 1149
Book is 4
Folio is 46
Click search ... and there you are  :)

Hope this helps.
