can some kind sole with access to the 1851 census for West Bromwich, please take a look on HO 107/2026 for the following:

Antony,

I'm afraid my copy of the 1851 isn't the best quality scan (I'm looking forward to ACDB getting around to it) but what I can make out is:

HO107/2026 f331 p25 - Bull Street (note that 86 is the number of the schedule, not that of the house. I'm afraid the house number isn't given) but I can state that the first schedule for Bull Street (coming from the High Street end) is number 66, so you may be able to get an idea of which house you're looking for by looking at an old map).

Joseph Lissimore, Head, Mar, 53, Poultry Dealer, Stafford Wednesbury
Ann Lissimore, Wife, Mar, 45, , do Wst Bromwich
David Lissimore, Son, U, 21, Poultry Dealer, do Wednesbury
Peter Lissomore, Son, U, 15, , do do
Charles Lissimore, Son, U, 13, Poulterers Son, Stafford Wednesbury
Thomas Hawkins, Servant, 25, Poulterers journey man, do do

The last two are on the next page (f332, p26)

Hope this helps.

Regards, Neil
