David, Certainly the index that I have to the 1851 Census of London does not pick her out. However there are other Grain's about: London 1851 Census index - Copyright S&N Genealogy Supplies 2005 GRAIN HANNAH R Age:57 Piece:1484 PN:660 FN:331 ST JAMES WESTMINSTER, ST JAMES'S SQUARE GRAIN JAMES Age:59 Piece:1484 PN:660 FN:331 ST JAMES WESTMINSTER, ST JAMES'S SQUARE GRAIN JANE Age:67 Piece:1553 PN:672 FN:337 STEPNEY, MILE END OLD TOWN LOWER GRAIN MARY Age:64 Piece:1578 PN:017 FN:008 WANDSWORTH, WANDSWORTH GRAIN SUSAN Age:58 Piece:1591 PN:017 FN:010 LEWISHAM, LEE-LEWISHAM VILLAGE-SYDENHAM GRAIN SUSAN Age:65 Piece:1507 PN:364 FN:184 ST GILES, ST GEORGE BLOOMSBURY GRAIN THOMAS Age:63 Piece:1591 PN:017 FN:010 LEWISHAM, LEE-LEWISHAM VILLAGE-SYDENHAM GRAIN THOMAS Age:66 Piece:1507 PN:364 FN:184 ST GILES, ST GEORGE BLOOMSBURY 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
