It was more convenient to go into Ancestry and look up a couple of censuses for James Harding. His file was not easily available so I entered his details for the 1851 and 1861 and was told twice on each entry that there were no results!! I know he is there I have the Ancestry census printed out.
Having retrieved my printouts I checked and everything I put in was correct and if I put the citation there he is!
Has anyone else had this problem?

Had trouble searching for something there this afternoon also. Contact told me a person had information on Ancestry but when I put in name - no result. Then put in surname - no result. Finally went to database and put in name - no result. 4th time I put just surname into database and the entry finally came up! Point is that if I didn't believe other person's hint I would have given up on the search.

Someone gave me a lead on my tree yesterday, and I still can't get to the census record on Ancestry. Very frustrating.

Still a problem with Ancestry. I kept putting in names and was told there was no matching record, so I put in a name that I know is on the census and like Abiam I know she is there because I have a print out, also she shows up on Findmypast, but again a message on Ancestry that says no results. Guess who won't be renewing their sub when it's due. Ancestry is more trouble than it's worth.

Tried searching for someone again yesterday (who may or may not have records on Ancestry) but when I put in first and last name and South Africa (with exact match box ticked) what came up but several people with same surname and different first names in Scotland!

Hi, I didn't realise anyone had answered! My sub is due at the end of Feb and now I have got used to FMP I think I shall stick with it. If you start to add up the odd cert. here and there plus paying for some info it all becomes a bit expensive. Which reminds me I sent ten pounds off to Southampton Archives way before Christmas must give them a ring! More expense!
What would we do without RC?

Strangely if I go to Ancestry.com and log on using my UK e-mail address and password, I can then access all the info that is on Ancestry.co.uk, e.g census, BMDs etc and it works. Having tested that, I then logged out and went onto Ancestry.co.uk - searches failed! I've now cancelled my subscription, but can still use it until renewal is due (next October) but they won't renew it. If they do, they are in trouble.
Hope Findmypast doesn't change, unless it is to get even better, when it amalgamates with Scotlandspeople.

I'm not sure what you're doing Lizzy - or is it your connection - but I've had no problems at all with Ancestry

I wouldn't think it was my connection as it works via Ancestry.com, it's just Ancestry.co.uk that I get messages that the search hasn't found anything - very odd. Abiam had the same problem on Sunday and others have had problems, seems you are the only one who hasn't any problems with Ancestry. I very rarely use Ancestry nowadays, as I like Findmypast much more, so it doesn't really matter and it's silly to pay 2 subs.

Tell me what you're searching for and I'll try to work out what's wrong.

Originally, I was going to search for a person at the request of a Rootschatter, when I got no results at all I thought it was odd, so thought I'd search for my g.grandfather & family who I know are definitely on the 1901 census. Again I got the no results message, but when I search on Ancestry.com and click on UK census the results appear - that is what is odd.
However, if you want to have a look try searching for George Wright in Hull, wife Maria, living at 295 Hessle Road on 1891 or 1901 census.

1891 Admin County, Kingston upon Hull, Civil Parish, Newington,
RG12 Piece 3919, Folio 29, Page 11 (sorry not at Hessle Road on that census, but first family on the page.
1901 Admin County, Kingston upon Hull, Civil Parish, Sculcoates, City, Kingston upon Hull
RG13; Piece: 4479; Folio: 46; Page: 41.
If you click to see the original census for 1901, Ancestry doesn't bring up the correct page and if you look for page 41, it doesn't show the correct page either! However, I did download the census entry from another website, can't remember which one but it wasn't Findmypast, as they don't have 1901 yet.

ps. I accessed these just now via Ancestry.com, still can't get any results from Ancestry.co.uk
