Hi Sonia, Don't know if there are name indexes which can be purchased commercially for the 1851 Edinburgh census but if I remember correctly when I was in New Register House a couple of weeks ago they don't have one. Only a street name index to guide you to the right book. Hope that helps, Jim --- Gil & Sonia Murray <happyman70@bellsouth.net> wrote: > Hello! > > Census indexes for Edinburgh 1851?
