The structure of the 1861 Census (and most others) is by County, then Civil Parish, then Sub Registration District and finally Enumeration District, which describes the boundaries and streets therein. But if the image of a street is missing from one search engine, where best can I find the missing schedules? I have searched Ancestry, British Origins and Find My Past and all seem to be using the images provided by National Archives. Does anyone know of a different provider for the 1861 Census? What's the best way of getting the fault rectified? Go to the source at National Archives? Paddy Buckley

Hi Paddy There are parts of the census missing completely, lost or damaged and will never be found and are gone for good But just because you can't find it, does not mean its not there :-) Why not post the details you know and let others have a look for you All suppliers use the same pages because there is only one set , one supplier or other might miss one or more pages or miss indexed some but as you seem to have tried several I suspect they are missing completely or they are under something you don't expect So I suggest you post the details you know and lets have a go If you do, please give names, addresses etc as much as possible Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > The structure of the 1861 Census (and most others) is by County, then > Civil Parish, then Sub Registration District and finally Enumeration > District, which describes the boundaries and streets therein.
