Has any of you lot experienced and hiccoughs and hit any walls while researching your ancestry, ie, failure to find your ancestor in the BMD indexes, census, etc, as I have had my fair share, as I couldnt find my ancestors in the 1861 London census, so I sent off for my great great grandfathers birth certificate as he was born in 1860. I then got the streetand I looked in the census street index at the FRC and the returns for that street were irritatingly missing. I knew all their detailes, I just wanted to check the street they were living down in St Pancras, as the PRO had done a street index for that borough. Any of you experienced the same?

Have had this problem with the 1881, LDS census is not quite as full as the 1881 census on CD!
