Where I've put Class, Piece, Folio and Page, these are the references used by The National Archives, Kew, London.

You can find these images on Ancestry or FindMyPast.
Maybe FamilySearch, too!
In fact any website that has censuses from England & Wales.


For BMD certificates, we use Year, Quarter, Registration District, Volume and Page.
Using these you can order the certificates. Cost is £9.25 each.


In 1861, Jesse is a servant (Footman) at the home of a Justice of the Peace, John W G Spicer, Hensham Lodge, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
