Burial record address

Hi JenB.

This may sound fairly basic but how do I access the census reference HO 107 / 1558 / 558/ 53 that you gave?
I no longer subscribe to FindMyPast, which used to have a road search for censuses, and that may be how you found the reference. Is there any way I can get there through Ancestry? Or I may have to start thinking about reviving my FindMyPast subscription - the cross-references were always useful.

Just go to the Ancestry census search for each specific year, and enter the numbers in the appropriate boxes for piece, folio and page.

Hi Mark.

It seems the Alms Houses in Gravel Lane were founded in 1863 ('Mrs Vaughan's Charity') some 9 years after Hannah's death.

Hello Ray

See also 1705 & 1812 for earlier Alms Houses, Gravel Lane:-

I'm not saying they died there, it was just a suggestion, just in case they were still running and if any documents might have survived?

The 1812 Alms Houses, Gravel Lane, were linked to Rowland Hill, Minister of the Chapel of Lady Huntingdon's Connexion. Lady Huntingdon and Rowland Hill, were Methodists.

Hi again JenB.

Ok. Pretend I can just about turn on a computer... I have gone to the Ancestry 1851 census search page but can see no options or boxes to enter piece, folio and page. When you gave the reference before I looked for such options but only those for personal details are available. There is no button for 'advanced search' for example. Do we have the same screen?

Don't use the 1851 UK Census Collection page, go to the 1851 England Census page, selected from the list Included data collections: at the bottom.
Then you will see a list of boxes for various entries, including those for piece, folio, and page number.

Do we have the same screen?

The page you describe sounds like the 'UK Census Collection' page which is a general search across all censuses. You need to go to the drop-down list underneath this, and specifically select census year in which you are interested. Then, as Stan has said, you will clearly see the boxes for piece, folio and page numbers.

Added: I wrote this before Stan edited what he'd written.

Thanks guys, so obvious, really. Now I know why I got a bit part in "Dumb and Dumber".

Cheers,

Well that makes two of us then

My excuse is that I haven't had an Ancestry sub for very long (ahem, only 15 months)!
