For 1861 Co Durham, use http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
(the coverage is complete - it's also 87% complete for 1861 Northunberland and 33% complete for 1871 Co Durham).

1861 Census
Piece: RG9/3773 Place: S Bishop-Wearmouth -Co. Durham Enumeration District: 9
Civil Parish: Bishopwearmouth Ecclesiastical Parish: St Pauls
Folio: 47 Page: 26 Schedule: 169
Address: 48 Avon St
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surname First name(s) Rel Status Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks
SHARP William Head M M 51 Joiner (Journeyman) Co. Durham - Sunderland
SHARP Elizabeth Wife M F 48 Co. Durham - Sunderland
SHARP Taylorson Son U M 20 Co. Durham - Sunderland
SHARP Margaret Dau U F 16 Scholar Co. Durham - Sunderland
SHARP Frances Dau U F 13 Scholar Co. Durham - Sunderland
SHARP William Son U M 10 Scholar Co. Durham - Sunderland
SHARP Jane Dau - F 1 Co. Durham - Sunderland


For England/Wales 1871, use FS: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1538354
(the coverage is 100%). Here's your Wm:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VBZ2-95B

If you compare these hits with the Ancestry transcriptions Jonesey posted, you'll see FreeCEN's transription is more detailed - it basically contains all the info.
FS's transcription omits the census ref (and Ecclesiastical parish) that Ancestry provides - checking:
http://www.freecen.org.uk/statistics.html
for 1871 Durham, we see piece # 5008 is one of the untranscribed pieces at FreeCEN.

1841-1901 (excl 1881), Ancestry don't transcribe the address, marital status, occupation, disability - one has to check the image to supplement Ancestry's transcription to get those, and then type addenda to the Ancestry transcription (or use the FMP/GR transcription), so these details are usually omitted in posts here. (Ancestry use the FS transcription in 1881)
