What's the best way of getting the fault rectified? > Go to the source at National Archives?> I think you are suffering from a misunderstanding, Paddy. If some schedules and images are missing, then the likelihood is that they are not just missing from that particular provider but they have disappeared for good and do not exist! It is well known that some areas have been lost and the 1861 census is a particular problem. If you look at Findmypast you will see that there is a link immmediately beneath the basic search box that says: "Read our comprehensive guide to the census including known issues with the 1861 census". Click on this and you are taken to another page which lists all known missing enumeration books and pieces from the various censuses. Scroll down the page to see 1861. You will just have to accept the fact that these pages are missing FOREVER from The National Archives and unless by some miracel they turn up, then they are gone and that is that. And no, there is no other provider other than TNA.
