Judy Thankyou for that run down on the Edinburgh censuses. So how do I get hold of the 1851 indexed census? I have Robert and Mary HOGG (married about 1848) and living at "19 Salisbury St in the District of Holyrood and Canongate in the Burgh of Edinburgh" according to their daughter Anne Veary HOGGs birth certificate. They arrived in New Zealand in December 1858 with 5 children, so I would love to find the 1851 census entry to find out who the other 4 were! Can someone who has access to it do a look up for me, or tell me how to get hold of it? Thanks Bruce Simons Melbourne, Oz
