David, Apologies to all. I should have not sent my previous post to the list due to the copyright restrictions. Certainly the index that I have to the 1851 Census of London does not pick her out. However there are other Grain's about: Peter I am trying to find a lady by name of Ann GRAIN in the 1851 census. She was supposedly born in about 1789, place unknown. When she made her will in 1850 she described herself as being ".late of Devonshire Street, Portland Place but now of Charles Street, Manchester Square.". When she died in 1853 she was described as living at 79, Albany Street, Regents Park although the death duty register gives 79, Upper Albany Street, Regents Park. I can't find her in the 1851 census, or the 1841. She will most likely be described as being of independent means. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you. David
