    3. According to the FRC's population tables the village in question (Tregynon, MGY in RG9/4252) had 703 people living in it, but only 195 appear on the returns. The surviving pages are fo85 p7 to fo88 p14; the enumeration district summary pages for Tregynon are missing, and the one preceding page 7 refers to an entirely different parish. The population figures suggest that there are pages missing after fo88. This book contains a number of small villages, many of which seem to be intact, so the answer to your question is that it was just part of a book, though I couldn't say what proportion.
