I have looked on the 1851 census but cannot find that record keyboard86 on The Genealogist.
Can you give me more detail of the search you used? The HO number does not mean anything to me unfortunately..its a senior thing! David

Hi I do not know the workings of The Genealogist, have you tried Familysearch to find census returns?

Thank you all for your help. I have not tried FamilySearch for census records, did not know they had census records, thought they only birth, marriage, death or residence..? david
