    Following on from this post.

    Have found a very probable listing of what would be my great, great, grandfather & it possibly his parents & his grandmother (which would be incredible) I'm a little confused over it though. It's the 1851 listing here and the mother is listed as Jane Thompson (age 66), but is listed as having died in 1846, so I can't work out why she's on it.

    Thomas Larkin is possibly my GG Grandfather who is age 6 in this (by my records he was 10, so it's possible one or the other is wrong).

    I'm almost totally convinced that it's him as there was apparently a family connection to Antrim & some of the names of 6 year old Thomas's siblings are repeated as his own kids names & are family names further down the line.

    I also had a listing for a Jane (surname unknown) in the family whom I thought was Thomas's wife & she may have been his grandmother instead.

    I'm nearly positive it's him & am considering "adopting" him for now at least.
    How do you know what their age is? I can't see it?

    How do I confirm these relatives in the 1851 census are mine though? I think i've finally worked out who my GGG father is but I have no evidence that this is actually him?

    The same way as any other source - find more to back it up.

    I've managed to get through a brick wall with the 1851 Census extract, but the transcription is wrong. The pension application was for a woman who was a 'nurse child' in the household of my gg grandfather. His name is transcribed correctly, but the children have been given the surname of the nurse child. There is a 'Report Errors' button, but it doesn't allow you to specify what the error is so anyone searching for the children won't find them.

    Still, I now have the names of all 8 gg grandparents, although unfortunately only the first names of two of the gg grandmothers.

    You are aware that there's only tiny fractions of those censuses available? So whatever you're finding for your county is all they have.

    The abstracts one

    Because the search forms were done before the originals were destroyed, that's why. If they're not on the 1851 site the originals are gone, end of.

    So theres no way of seeing the age on the abstracts?

    Just giving this thread a bump as I saw they are now on Familysearch, as of 29th August.
    https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list/?page=1&countryId=1927084

    Might get more joy from the Familysearch index search or via a combination of both.

    Are they not already on the NAI census website?

    They are, just highlighting an alternative option. The Familysearch index search is pretty good and might throw up records more easily than NAI.
