I have had quite a bit of success in finding people in the census on
Ancestry by leaving the surname blank, when I have known the birthplace and
approximate year of birth of one of the family. It is best to search for family
member with the least common first name. Some of the surnames that have come up as
a result have had the most unusual spellings that I would never have thought
of searching for. I believe that Ancestry have the 1841 census well under
way, so hopefully it will not be too long before they have it on-line.
