Hi folks, With a bit of playing around on the search fields, I've found part of the ANSTIS family in the 1881 census indexed on Ancestry as AUSTISS. As I'm totally blind, I can't check the image to see what that says. Could SKS please take a look and let me know their thoughts on the transcription please? Their sons, Harry and Herbert, are indexed as Harvey and Herhert, other than that all children are present and correct (apart from Frank who has been found elsewhere). <G> With sincerest thanks, Jon

Hallo Jon, I am not surprised you have had problems. With no trouble I found that Frank Herbert ANSTISS married in 12 August 1889, to an Alice Ruth Burr. This was transcribed as AUSTISS (more details if you wish) I tried fmp and could not find your family - so I followed your misspellings in Ancestry. I found the whole family, but the writing, strong and assured, is nevertheless dubious! If I did not know, I would say that Robert and Alice were ANSTISS, most of the rest look like AUSTISS, but Ellen looks like AUSTIN. HARVEY looks correct, rather than Harry but , no it is definitely HERBERT. Lots of musicians - father and 3 eldest sons - but if the marriage in 1889 is correct, and the same young man, Frank's father is listed as a Retired Civil Servant - well I suppose a musician might be a Civil Servant Storm brewing, thunder roll so I will send before this crashes!
