Hi Can anyone tell me how to find a particular street in the 1851 Census using Ancestry. John Titterton and his daughter Mary Ann should be living in Effra Road Brixton. But they do not appear. (Mary is still there at No 3 many years later.) I expect the surname has been mistranscribed but cannot find them using the common errors. If I could find the street then I might succeed. Any suggestions? John John E Titterton (1615) Ashbourne, UK www.titterton.org.uk

Hi John, They are there in 1851, at Archive reference HO107 Piece number 1575 Folio 188 Page 33. Ancestry has them transcribed as Tetterton.

John, In Ancestry - I selected "Search in Census & Electoral Rolls" then, on the right-and side of the screen - "Narrow by Category" - chose "1851 U.K. Census Collection". Then - at the bottom of the search panel - "Included Data Collections" chose "1851 England census". This allows me to select such as Registration District (RD), sub-RD, Page number, folio, etc. A quick look on the internet showed that Brixton is a sub-district of the Lambeth RD. I then looked for the 1851 street index on-line and found a webarchive.nationalarchives.co.uk. This showed me that Effra Road has two parts - East is HO107/1575 folios 172,186-191, while the West Side is in folios 268-270. Back to Ancestry to feed all that in and ... I'll leave that up to you <grin>.

Thanks to all who replied. This forum is really great. Two lessons learnt. One: how to find a street in the Census. Two: I clearly need to produced a list of standard Titterton spellings with * wildcards in to work systematically through because I missed one of the obvious ones here. Thanks again..

John - try HO107/1575 folio 188 page 33. Both John and daughter.

Ancestry doesn't have a searchable Street Index but you can navigate to the County, Parish and Enumeration District to find the Enumerators description of his route and then scan the relevant pages. FMP has a searchable Street Index and TheGenealogist may have one too. However, you will find the people that you are looking for on Ancestry, but they have been mistranscribed as TETTERTON at ref: HO107/1575 folio 188 and they are living at 3 Effra Road.
