1861 London Census look-ups so far

For Suzanne Paris I have the 1861 census CD's for London area. There are a few areas that have been indexed by name, but mainly, if you have an address or at least a street and area I can look to confirm who was living at that address at the time of the census (07/04/1861). This includes the relationship to the head of the family, marital status, age, occupation, and where born. I must point out however that because they are actual fiche images, some of the pages are very difficult, some impossible, to read. I have put a list of the areas that are name indexed somewhere on this Board. Sandra

Sandra Sorry that you had to look at so many pages. Edgar Rust died in 1878 at Lees Mews in St George Hanover Sq. Could you perhaps look in that place to see if they were there earlier. Margaret

Sandra, Although this isn't my GGG Grandfather I think it may be GG Grandads brother, the families seemed to live either Drury Lane or Little/Great or Wild Street, so this a good lead. Thanks so much. Lynda

For Lynda Pace This is the information I found last night. Address: 9 Wild Court RG9/169 Folio 81a John Lane Head Mar 29 Labourer Ireland Kitty? " Wife 27 Ireland Kitty? " Daur 3 Middx, London Mary " Daur 1 " " Hope it's a connection! Sandra For Margaret in Burton on Trent Margaret, I thought maybe St George Hanover Square might not be that big an area, looked through the first 30 pages but then realised that it covers literally hundreds of pages. Sorry Sandra For Elaine Pringle. Sorry Elaine, I would love to help if I could, but without more information it's impossible. I did check the name index on the off chance that they lived in an area that was indexed, but no luck. Sorry Sandra For Elizabeth Lewis I'm happy to say I found your family, and it looks like there was another son before their daughter was born. I was beginning to think that I wouldn't be able to find anyone! RG9/353 Folio 81 Lambeth Address: 40? Chester Street George Newman Head Age? Cab Driver ???, Wilts Ann " Wife " Middx John " Son " Lambeth George " Son " " Henry " Son " " Sandra For Lucy Took Sorry Lucy just too big an area to search with more info, and yes, you're right, none of the areas you mentioned have been indexed. Best wishes Sandra
