Note the words "in full"!!! I can only assume this phrase came from an Ancestry press release but is far from the case. I'm still waiting for my local 1851 census (HO107/2503 folios 15 to 378) to appear. These pages are not missing and are available on microfilm at local family history centres, so why not at Ancestry??? Comments made on various other lists would suggest that I am not alone in waiting for 'ommitted' census pages. Ian

Even the later 1901 has gaps, but Ancestry are very coy about when these will be filled. However, to be fair, I was only recently aware that souvenir hunters had removed a number of original pages in the days before they were microfilmed. Adrian
