You'd need to go to Ancestry or FindMyPast to view these to see if there's more useful information there. For the 1851 census they have a Mr & Mrs Weiss, lodgers, said to have been born in Germany (might be close enough to Holland for a boarding house keeper!) but with no indication as to where they were located. Bottom line: try the UK Census collections on Ancestry. -- Ian The Hotmail address is my spam-bin. Real mail address is iang at austonley org uk
