	When looking at census online I always look a couple of pages either way as well. I actually managed to find a lost relative by doing that !

	Hey Phillip, I found 2 lost reliies by doing that. I had a record of Ann Wadsworth in Gorton, Manchester, and two doors away was my great grandfather and great great grandmother (names mis-transposed on Ancestry), and another two door away my great aunt. Always look around. One you have the original census up, go backward and forward a few pages and see what you find. Margaret
