Have you tried going through the parts not yet indexed. I found one of mine like that, only really a possibility if you know where roughly they should be. Go to the bottom where it has the county names click on the one you want and see what villages/towns come up click on yours if its there and then browse the whole place. It's worked for me on several different census years Hope you get lucky Diane

Trying to find my great-great grandparents. I have them from 1858, when they married in Kennington, Surrey, onwards. But between their baptisms and marriage, nothing. Had a good go at 1851, using just first names/surnames + county etc and looking for likely mistranscriptions. NOTHING. Any suggestions? JOHN SMOOTHY born abt 1812, Chelmsford, Essex. In 1858 when he married, he was a gentleman's servant. ANN CHOWNS born abt. 1826 in Farnham Royal, Buckinghamshire (though on some censuses she says Stoke - for Stoke Poges). I have a birth cert for an illegitimate child born to an Ann Chowns in 1851 in Salt Hill, Farnham, Bucks. The baby died aged 7 weeks. I have a suspicion this could be MY Ann's child, but have no proof. The baby's death was registered by Hannah Crane. I've found an Ann Crane, b. Farnham 1826 (same age/birthplace as my Ann Chowns) working as a servant in Upton Park, Upton cum Chalvey, Bucks, with her husband John. nell

Thanks to David, who found John Smoothy as John Smarthy and Ann, who found Ann Chowns as Ann Thomas.
