Ancestry's 1911 Summary Books now online

A bit of experimenting gets me the 7 names
Firstly, note Ancestry has stuffed up with Wigan's RD # - it's 458, not 5.
If I look at the image (and check that I am interested in h/h # 255 from the original image), just above it is "Lancashire > Pemberton > District 8 > 10 "
Clicking on District 8 gets me a drop down list of enumeration districts, and page 1 of ED8 says Wigan is 458 (Pemberton is subdistrict 5 of Wigan RD).
[I haven't looked at enough censuses to say if Ancestry always get the rd wrong, but any RD# 30 or less must be in the County of London, except RD15 which is the City of London).

Now do a free person search at:
http://www.1911census.co.uk/

Choose the advanced option, and enter just the census ref as
rd458 sd5 ed8 sn255
and I see:

HOUSEHOLD SLEVIN CATHERINE F F 1882 29 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SLEVIN JOHN M 1842 69 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SLEVIN JOSEPH M 1907 4 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SLEVIN JOSEPH A M 1884 27 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SLEVIN MARGRETT F 1846 65 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SLEVIN MARY E F 1876 35 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD SLEVIN MARY J F 1902 9 Wigan Lancashire

As you might infer, one can use the keywords to search by address (or else I'ld never hace found my Slevins).
