I'm here and listening too - c'mon you clever bods! They are all in there aren't they , hence no replies!

Me neither I asked on here the other day why I bothered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don;t think you can access it through Ancestry, you have to go into www.1851-census(.)co.uk and as long as you are logged into your Ancestry account, it should work. Sam x

Hi What a relief I thought it was only me that was having a problem Cheryl

Go to http://www.1851-census.*co.uk/ Put your name in the Ancestor's First Name: Ancestor's Last Name: part and submit. You have to be logged into Ancestry.*co.uk for it to work, not *com (If that doesn't work, I don't know what to suggest. It does for me.)

Hi Just tried that and I still can't get on Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!help Cheryl

What happens when you put the names in the search box Cheryl?

Suggests i take a 14 day free trial - ermmm?

Aree you logged into Ancestry.*co.uk?

http://www*ancestry*co*uk/search/rectype/census/uk/default.aspx replace * with . You will then be on Search UK Census Collection click on arrow where it says Census year. Choose 1851, then put in the details you want to search for. Hope this helps u. Fi

Hi TRacy Yes I've got that page but when I put my Gt Grans name in nothing is listed. Here is my Gt Gt Grandfathers deatils can you put in his name and see what you get. John Spencer born 1816 Cheshire wifes name Ruth should be living in Nantwich Area of Cheshire Cheryl

Cheryl, there's a whole bunch of them that come up if you put it in the right place. Where are you putting the names? Jess, White and Blue yes... not sure about Green though...
