1851 census

Looking for Robert Ward Dunt b 1819 Blofield, Norfolk
wife Emma (birthplace unknown)

Robert and Emma married in Norwich in 1848. They had two children by 1851, Herbert Robert b. 1849 and Emma b 1850 both in Stepney.

A third child Agnes Janette was born (according to Ancestral File) at 3 Sidney Street, Commercial Road, Stepney in 1852.

But I can't find Robert, Emma or the children. Help! This is the only census after their marriage in which they are in England - they emigrated in 1855.

According to TNA Sidney Street in 1851 should be:

Ref: HO 107/712 Book; 8 Folios: 31-32

If I do a search for just HO107/712 there are no hits. It may be that ancestry don't have them

Just had a look on FMP - not there either. Maybe the page they are on is missing. How wierd that I can find out about them on the other side of the world, but not in London!

Having checked my Sidney Street lot I think they may have been from the one in St Pancras not Stepney

Oh well, its not that far from St P to Stepney geographically!

Thanks for looking anyway.
