I wanted to look at 1851 census for the royal family would it show all commoners who lived with them or would they be on different sheet and which name would I put please as I tried Windsor seemed to be an awful lot thanks a lot

Try Albert for first name, b 1818 +/- 2: H R H Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emanuel

thanks very much

And do tell me, as I don't subscribe, is this her: Victoria Hearnstrig?

Only if she did tailoring on the side Bren! Ive found Louis Mountbatten on a ship! ( Battenburg) Do you want an image Brenda? Actually, strangely some of the records arent there when I try to paste and copy.

Found them thanks ,what do you mean Phoenix who is this Victoria

I think it most unlikely to get a result under 'Windsor' in 1851. The ' W ' name was not taken until WW1. I believe that the Family name prior to that was 'Saxe-Coburg Gotha ' or similar. Mick

Here they are in the 1851: H R H Albert Edward abt 1842 Buckingham Palace, Buckinghamshire, England Son St George Hanover Square Middlesex H R H Alfred Ernest Albert abt 1845 Windsor Castle Son St George Hanover Square Middlesex H R H Alice Maud Mary abt 1844 Buckingham Palace, Buckinghamshire, England Daughter St George Hanover Square Middlesex H R H Arthur William Patrick Albert abt 1850 Polan, Buckinghamshire, England Son St George Hanover Square Middlesex H R H Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emanuel abt 1820 Head St George Hanover Square Middlesex H R H Helena Augusta Victoria abt 1847 Polan, Buckinghamshire, England Daughter St George Hanover Square Middlesex H R H Louisa Carolina Alberta abt 1848 Polan, Buckinghamshire, England Daughter St George Hanover Square Middlesex H R H Victoria Adelaide Mary Louisa abt 1841 Buckingham Palace, Buckinghamshire, England Daughter St George Hanover Square Middlesex

Valerie As I don't subscribe to Ancestry, I sometimes have to do a bit of lateral thinking to find the right people from the index alone. And I often get it wrong. Heather is misleading me: she isn't down as Battenburg in 1851. This is her: Her Majesty Alexandrina Victoria Only Ancestry would think that Victoria was a surname!

We did a search for these the other day. Go to Records Board and search for ...Queen Victoria - census returns..

Further to the above. Sorry Pardon. HM Queen Victoria was the last of the Hapsburg monarchs. Mick

Just incase you wanted them in 1861 here they are, not so easy to find as they wrote just their names and nothing to say they were royals.

Found this lot for 1851: Albert Of Cornwall and York abt 1896 Sandringham, England Grandson Windsor Castle Berkshire Record Edward Of Cornwall and York abt 1885 Richmond, Surrey, England Grandson Windsor Castle Berkshire Henry Of Cornwall and York abt 1900 Sandringham, Norfolk, England Grandson Windsor Castle Berkshire Victoria Of Cornwall and York abt 1898 Sandringham, Norfolk, England Granddaughter Windsor Castle Berkshire

thanks for all your help the reason I am asking is because my husbands great great grandfather and his wife were Cobblers to the Queen and I wondered if they actually lived in but I have found them living in Wardour Street St James Westminster which is very posh nowadays wonder what it was like then.

Your quite right Brenda, when I went back to get an image it was part of the royal family but not her. Forgive me - still, she still isnt a tailoress!

Oh Val, that reminds me of a rude joke about the man who had a sign over his shop saying 'Cobblers to the Queen'. Im sure Ted could complete it.

you are all very helpful and a lot cleverer than me ,how is it I have problems finding people thank you all

Heather, and one about the Queens legs being opened it was of course a Pub

NO, thank you Val, for giving us all a bit of fun and interest. And now we know their proper surname - which we should have all done before! Silly, remember my mum always going on about people having the 'Hapsburg chin' (in reality, lack of it!)
