I'm struggling to find Dominick Gobby born about 1780s. He's on the 1841 census living with his 15 yr old son John. The census record shows his is living in district St Andrew (above the bars) enumeration District 7, Folio 14, page 21, line 19 GSU Roll 438786.

I know that Dominick died 1853 and at the time was living in Leather Lane which fits nicely with information I have found about him on the Old Bailey onliine website (he was a broker).

The problem I have is finding him on the 1851 census. I think I am having to go through the census by disctrict and each page but not sure how to start. The Ancestry site give the enumeration numbers of each district but I can't find the num 7. I assumed that the district number in 1841 would be the same in 1851. Can anyone advise please?
