Hi Rod, I put his name in, then for the county i put yorkshire and in the year put 1851 and it says there are 12 John Blackburns in the census for that year. You then have to pay to view all the John Blackburns and then you'll be able to determine whether one of them is yours. Sorry if i've not explained it very well! Tracey

Hello Rodney, There are 12 John Blackburns in the 1851 census for Halifax. They are on Family history online and it's pay per view. Don't know whether it's of use to you. Tracey x
