Hi Graham I can't reproduce the situation you describe, I'm sorry Admittedly, my subscription is to Ancestry.com (when I took it out, the exchange rate was such that I saved more than £10 by paying for the UK collection in US $ instead of sterling). As such, I admit I used the master list of censuses on http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/census/uk/default.aspx, which (a) includes Isle of Man and Channel Islands (b) enables me to search the Channel Islands index and the Isle of Man indices (c) returns details of the RIGGS living in St Helier (d) links to the image of the corresponding page in the census book. However, I've just tried substituting "co.uk" for "com", and I get the same success via http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/census/uk/default.aspx. I've also out of curiosity now used the "co.uk" site to successfully search for "Jones" in the IOM index, and separately for persons residing in St Helier (leaving the name fields blank) and got the first results page of 23,978 entries. Incidentally, I've also emailed myfamily.com to point out that their site does NOT include all the "UK" censuses, because the UK includes Scotland and Northern Ireland <g> Regards Geoff Riggs ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Lewis" <graham.lewis@optusnet.com.au> To: "Geoff Riggs" <geoff@riggs.org.uk>; <SOG-UK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 10:45 PM Subject: Completeness of 1841 census on Ancestry.co.uk > I was interested to see the quote below in Geoff's email, because the > Ancestry.co.uk site doesn't actually claim that it's complete, and the list > doesn't mention Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. > > More significantly, if you search for the name of a place that's actually in > one of those islands, all you get is a list of people born there but > enumerated in other counties!
