Dear listers, I have reported that two whole families are missing from findmypast's transcription of the page listed below. I was looking for a family called BROUGH, with parents Lewis and Priscilla, and six children. A search for this family gives a nil return, but I have previously found them at that location (Bleak Hill, Burslem) from the Stepping Stones CDs of the 1841 Census. When I did a location search for Bleak Hill on findmypast, I found the page, and lo and behold, there were the Broughs - and another family which I can't quite read. Can anyone explain why findmypast should now tell me that they are not there?
