Does anyone have access to the 1851 census for Manchester? I'm looking for the Ashelby family at 30, Hart Street, Manchester Any information much appreciated. Thanks. Rob

Hi Rob, I found 30 Hart Street, Manchester (London Road disc) but sorry there were no names it looked like there would have been 10 people before the next number 32, must have been illegible. There was no name Ashelby in the surnames list either.

I have sent Rob map sections showing Hart street, it was south west of the London road area in 1844. A couple of streets to the east of Portland street and Piccadilly Gardens.

Sometimes water damaged and otherwise poor census images can be rendered a little more legible if someone knows how to clean them up. If you can give me some clearly legible names, ages, as well as the Parish from that page, or the film, roll and page number that would identify it, I can try to have a friend who knows how to do that, look at the page for you. What website did you see it at? I know there is Linux software available to do this sort of thing, although I don't know the exact program names, and think there must be Windows software as well that can do the same thing.
