Brilliant! No major successes yet, but my 2xggrandfather who (as clear as day) was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire in 1861, was, according to 1851 (and just as clear as day!!!) born in Hampton, Middx ...............! Don't quite know what to make of that ...............???!!!! lol! Bev x |

Even found Ann Brown in Bishopwearmouth, which I believe is somewhere north of Watford. At least another couple of hours before the eyes start rolling! But why am I racing to look everyone up tonight? Am I afraid sub consciously that it won't be there in the morning? Irrational. Sorry, no time for more babbling, must get back to 1851 |

Can I be the wet lettuce please? I have several families located from census discs. Not mistranscribed, not on poor images. They aren't on the index and they don't appear on the indexes on 'a certain site' How can that happen? I need to find them again cos I lost all the images when my hard drive crashed! |

Lou, Have you tried entering the piece, folio and page numbers on Ancestry and see if any come up?? Otherwise, post one here (ONE I said lol!!!!!) and we'll have a look Oops, just read your message again....Lost all the images......so expect you don't have the numbers :o(( Give us some names then!! Merry |

Hi Merry No, sadly numbers went to, but this was one I wanted to get back and can't. Peter Bibb b.1817 Northleach Glos, wife is Maria. Living London (St Geo Han Sq, St Pancras, that kind of area) The image said Bibb clear as a bell so baffled as to why they didn't appear. Unless there's more been added since someone looked for me earlier! I have 3 more if you pass this challenge...........lol! |

On 1861 I have my 3xg grandmother shown as head, no mention of 3xg grandfather. On 1851 I have 3xg grandfather shown as head no mention of 3xg grandmother. As least I have found 3x g grandfathers name. Sue |

Lou, 1861 - 189,000 people living in St Pancras..... 1851 - 169,000 people living in St Pancras..... I know the population was increasing in the 1850's at about that rate...... Guess it should read 169,002 for 1851?? Oh, plus son, John.....169,003!! Merry |
