Public Record Office references to the surname BIRD on the 1851 census

HO107 refers to the 1851 census
1493 the folio number
65 the page number
"r" & "v" the side of the page. (recto & verso)

You can get the information from census films at the FRC or you can view
them at a LDS Family History Centre. At the later you will most likely need
to order in the microfilms.

PRO Ref. LDS film

HO107/1492 0087821
HO107/1493 0087822
HO107/1494 0087824
HO107/1495 0087826
HO107/1496 0087828
HO107/1497 0087830
HO107/1498 0087831
HO107/1499 0087832

Depending on your page numbers you may also need films 0087823/ 25/ 27/ 29

I have several WESTON references for the same region to look up at some
stage.
