Many thanks Slowhands for your reply, it seems that I missed your reply for some reason, but better late than never. Yes it would appear that you are correct it has been incorrectly transcribed.

Designation for the 1841 census is HO 107.
Then the box number containing the enumeration book is given.
Then the book number, folio number and last the page number.

Littledean (part) is HO 107/364/14/(folio number)/(page number).
Morse ( Ruardean) is HO107/365/10/(folio number)/(page number).
Ruardean Hill is HO107/364/7/(folio number)/(page number).

Could someone explain to me the details of the 1841 census entries listed at this web-site. For example what is meant by the term "Box"?

I've looked at some entries here that don't appear on the 1841 Census from Ancestry.com, why would this be the case?

My particular interest is in a group of people named KERSEY in piece 365/3, folio 59. Are all the people listed in this folio in the one household, or are they in a number of households?

Richard KERSEY (sic) and his wife Amelia KERSEY (sic) nee ROBERTS are related to me - real surname KEARSEY. I'm trying to establish if William KERSEY and his wife Jane KERSEY are related to my Richard and Amelia KEARSEY.

Any help - very appreciated!

Cheers,

Don Cameron.
