Find Ancestors

My son is doing a project on Queen Victoria, so having access to ancestry I thought I'd try to find her on some of the census but I can't! Surely she was registered, I'm sure I read an example somewhere where it showed all her details. Anybody else managed to find her? If so I would be grateful if you could tell me what to put in to the search. I've tried just putting in her date of birth (1819) and just the name Victoria, but nothing. Tried putting in Queen too but no help. If anybody has some spare time then any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Lorraine

tried Windsor? Think that is what our present queen would be under in the future. GLoria

1881 again Source information: RG11/1325 Registration district: Windsor Sub-registration district: Windsor ED, institution, or vessel: Windsor Castle Folio: 98 Page: 1 The hand writing is Diabolical - which really surprise me!! Its in a real mess, you would have though it would have been kept so carefully!! Beatrice Prince H R h the abt 1858 Daughter Windsor Castle Berks, Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England Leopold Prince H R h the abt 1844 London, London, Middlesex, England Son Windsor Castle Berks, Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England Alfred Prince Of Edinburgh abt 1875 Grandson Windsor Castle Berks, Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England Alexandra Princess Of Edinburgh abt 1879 Granddaughter Windsor Castle Berks, Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England Maria Princess Of Edinburgh abt 1876 Granddaughter Windsor Castle Berks, Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England Victoria Princess Of Edinburgh abt 1877 Granddaughter Windsor Castle Berks, Windsor Castle, Berkshire, England

Phew, thanks everybody, that should keep me busy this morning! I think the main problem is they keep calling her different things (I didn't know her name was Alexandrina!) but it is even hard tracking down the children's names. I managed the 1851 OK and will now check out the 1881 but can find no traces on the 1861, 1871 and 1891. I will go in to Ancestry and check out the one World tree, Many thanks everybody, Lorraine

Thanks Elaine, That looks like Princess Helena (Victoria's daughter) and her children, so I wonder where the others are? Does anybody have the ref for Buckingham Palace? Lorraine

Thanks Suzanne, found Edward VII and his family in the 2nd lot at Buckingham Palace, don't know where the Queen was though, guess she could have been absolutely anywhere, possibly even abroad, Lorraine

Just had a thought....how about checking out Balmoral on the Scottish censuses? Suzanne

Hi....1871 Queen Victoria was probably in Balmoral (She went into deep mourning after losing her husband whhich lasted almost 15 years, during this time she lived in almost total seclusion in balmoral) Suzanne

At some time during 1891 Queen Victoria was in France. Suzanne
