Hello the list, I would be most grateful if SKS could identify this number please? HO 107/1133/7 I believe it refers to a specific area! Thanks in advance John

Hi John I *think* you'll find it's the 1841 listing of the Parish of Halford, WAR - in Shipston on Stour District & Kington Hundred. BUT... A lot depends on the date the reference was written, as the 1841 referencing has been altered "comparatively" recently. Although the Piece Numbers remain the same, at the time I was working my way through the 1841 Census in the late 1990s, each piece was *not* Folioed as one unit. It was broken into sections - some of which were, and others weren't, given folio numbers. The result was that it was possible to have several quite different folios given the same one :-( This was converted "comparatively" recently into sequentially-numbered 'sections', and all were numbered-through separately from 1. All of this was easily determined until about a month ago, when Ancestry "improved" its search-boxes by removing piece and folio numbers and substituting "places" - of which around 90% have no relevance whatsoever to anything appearing in any English Census.....

Hi Gus, Like you I shudder whenever a firm "improves" their search boxes etc. In fact I hadn't noticed that ancestry had done this until I tried to look it up to help John. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" is the phrase which comes to mind.
