Transcription of PRO British Census 1891 Blackley Lancashire England
http://www.blackley1891.co.uk
This is a transcription by H.R.Johnson of eight Public Record Office
microfiche:
RG12/3269 Nos 1 to 4
RG12/3270 Nos 1 to 4
It has a Full Name Index to over 15 500 persons, distributed
over 3413 households, including two institutions, viz
"The Convent of the Good Shepherd" and "The Manchester and Salford
Reformatory for Boys".
The transcription may also be searched either by address or by forename.
The latter facility affords the possibility of tracking down a female
who has changed her name through marriage, even though her married surname
is unknown to the searcher. It consists of a list of forenames of married
and widowed females, each with ages and birthplaces, as stated in 1891.
If the corresponding earlier information about a given person is
available, ( for example, from a previous census), and the lady
in question was resident in Blackley on Census Night 1891, there is some
chance of locating her here.
