Hello Kathryn If you are looking for your Hozacks in the 1871 census and they lived in Denbigh Street you will not find them! My gt gt grandfather lived in Denbigh Street around that time and the whole enumeration district is missing from the 1871 census. I had this from an enquiry to the National Archives when I couldn't find my family on the 1871 census:- "Thank you for your enquiry. There is as you say an entire evaluation district [number 6] missing from the fiche of the 1871 census for Birkenhead. I have now checked the original documents RG 10/3744 and RG 10/3745 and this district is also missing from them. Both documents have sustained damage. The guidance for enumerators and covering page giving the enumeration district number are missing from the front of RG 10/3745 but otherwise the schedules are in good condition, it looks as if this document always began with district 7. The schedules at the back of RG 10/3744 are in a worse state. The missing district was lost, I suspect, from here,long before the filming and probably before the document came to The National Archives. I am sorry I am not able to give a more positive reply." However I then e-mailed the Birkenhead library at: birkenhead.ref@wirral-library.net They very kindly offered to look up my family on the 1871 electoral roll which confirmed them at 1 Denbigh Street so at least I could place them there although only the head of the household was mentioned. If you e-mail them your Hozack name they can look for you. Looks like our ancestors may have been neighbours, my gt gt grandfather, Michael McCormick died in 1873 at number 11 Denbigh Street! Hope this helps.
