Does anyone know on Ancestry how I can find Broad Carr Lane / Broadcarr Lane, Mossley on the 1851 census? I am interested in who lived on this road at this time. I know I can go through each enumeration district but I was wondering if anyone knew an easier way. |

It does help to first read the enumerator's description of what he's enumerating. So suppose you know it's in the Hartshead sub-registration district of Ashton u Lyne (I don't know this), from Ancestry's "search the UK census" page, select 1851 ENG and scroll down the page and select Lancs - Ashton u L - Hartshead, and you can read the enumerator's description for each of the 20 or so EDs there. Hopefully, that'll narrow it down to a couple of EDs, which you can access from that same page, and you can go thru these reading every third page until you get a hit. |
