Is this the one you wanted on FamilySearch, Sidami?

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKXD-CZ64

To search for it yourself, go to the search page on FamilySearch https://familysearch.org/search/

Put his name into the appropriate boxes, I just put Lincs in the birthplace and 1859 to 1861 in the birth year boxes.

If you get too many results then look at the two tabs at the top of the search results, one says "Records", the other says "Collections" - click on "Collections".

You'll then see the different headings - under "Census and Lists" tick the "1881 Census" box and then the blue "Filter These Results" box near the top of the page.

I have bookmarked:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND

FS have been updating their censuses, and only 1911 is left to do,:
England and Wales Census, 1841 15,782,939 15 Sep 2015
England and Wales Census, 1851 17,745,148 12 Nov 2015
England and Wales Census, 1861 19,591,106 *14 Jan 2016
England and Wales Census, 1871 22,925,080 27 Jul 2015
England and Wales Census, 1881 26,124,851 13 Oct 2015
England and Wales Census, 1891 29,048,338 15 Oct 2015
England and Wales Census, 1901 34,138,955 29 Aug 2015
England and Wales Census, 1911 36,354,828 07 Jun 2011


I normally click on the census I want, and search on its search screen.
I wasn't aware of MC's method, which certainly looks worth trying.


Here's Samuel 1841-1851, then Chas 1861-1901, using MC's search criteria:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M7M9-XJZ
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKVD-2Z22
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M743-KGQ
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VB8D-12J
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKXD-CZ64
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:WTJH-P6Z
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XSD4-ZNT

1841 doesn't handle the rounding down of ages 15+ to a mult of 5 well, e,g,,
Age 21-25
Age (Original) 21
Birth Year (Estimated) 1816-1820
Obviously, a=21 has not been rounded down, so a=21-25 is silly, as is their associated y.o.b's.

Also, some 1861 household displays don't show the age, e.g.,
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQGL-4XJ

1911 poses difft problems.
I couldn't find Chas in 1911, so here's bro Luke:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7Y6-K3X
*Name Luke B Harrison
*Parish Hameringham
*Registration District Horncastle
Age 53

Obviously one would like to know who he's living with, so here's how to get those names.

Go to http://www.findmypast.co.uk/
From the banner, click on: Search - A-Z of Record Sets - UK
Start typing 1911 & select:
1911 Census For England & Wales

This gets FMP's 1911 search screen.
Now search for the *-ed info

Fortunately, there's just one hit:
First name(s) Last name Birth year Birth place Registration district Parish County
Luke B Harrison 1858 Lincoln Mkt Stainton Horncastle Hameringham Lincolnshire

Now transfer Luke's names to the OTHER HOUSEHOLD MEMBER box, and you get:

First name(s) Last name Birth year Birth place Registration district Parish County
Luke B Harrison 1858 Lincoln Mkt Stainton Horncastle Hameringham Lincolnshire
Lizzyman Harrison 1863 Lincoln Mareham Le Hill Horncastle Hameringham Lincolnshire
Jack Harrison 1897 Lincoln Hameringham Horncastle Hameringham Lincolnshire
Harry Harrison 1895 Lincoln West Ashby Horncastle Hameringham Lincolnshire
Frank Harrison 1893 Lincoln Dorrington Horncastle Hameringham Lincolnshire
Violet Mary Harrison 1906 Lincoln Hameringham Horncastle Hameringham Lincolnshire
Daisie May Harrison 1911 Lincoln Hameringham Horncastle Hameringham Lincolnshire

[I've reordered the output]
One can search for head, wife, son & daur - none left over (NB Jack is a daur)

Now I know the names & ages, I can Look them up on FS - FS uses FMP's transcriptions
NB If I had multiple Lukes, I could see who's living with Daisie say, and sort the h/h's out that way.
