Find Ancestors

It's not on Ancestry,but is on FMP.
"The records for the Manchester, Chorlton, Salford, Oldham and Ashton-Under-Lyne registration districts were water damaged many years ago due to flooding.

As a result many were too fragile to be filmed or no writing was visible, but a 14 year project by the Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society (MLFHS) has recovered information from around 82 per cent of the damaged records."

Sorry-going out now,so I can't have a look.

If PollyPoppet wasn't looking at the original image, I wouldn't trust the transcription. Obviously if they're not easy to find on Ancestry & you say the image is light it's a tricky one.

Which website are you getting your info from? If you can't cut & paste can you give us the volume & page number just by typing.

Don't worry, if I can do it anybody can! I was told how to do this on here. Very useful skill to have - I now use it for all sorts of stuff, and you can paste things onto your own documents in wordpad or similar.

If you're looking at a National Archives original image then its on a label, possibly right-hand side of page.

Are you sure it's the 1851 census? Can't find this family.

The reference number is usually at the bottom or side of the image.
