Boston 1850 Census

Doyles in 1850 Boston Census
While trying to find my Doyle ancestors, I went through the entire 1850 Census of Boston, and copied all of the Doyle entries. These tables are listed by the Wards of Boston (12 total).
The 1850 Boston Census has several page numbers listed on each page. The “page” number here is the STAMPED number on the upper right corner of the right hand page. The numbers on left pages are not referenced. A and B refer to the side of the page on which the listing is located. A is right, B is left.

I am having problems figuring out how to reformat the tables so that they are a bit more readable. Stay tuned…
