Missing 1881 census
« on: Wednesday 08 September 04 14:50 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

Are you having a fruitless search on the 1881 census?

I found this site...


Which says that the following census are nmissing from the films (which is what LDS trans were done from).

http://www.ktb.net/~dwills/scotref/18811959.htm

PARISH NUMBER/ COUNTY/ PARISH NAME
124/ Moray/ Abernethy
399/ Fife/ Abbotshall
758/ Peebles/ Broughton
822/ Dumfries/ Dunscore

I knew a significant proportion of the Dumfries census was missing - see post from Audrey in Dumfriesshire...

Cheers,
Pam

Not entirely true...

Abernethy, Moray can be found in Abernethy & Kincardine, Inverness-shire (90a)
Abbotshall, Fife can be found in Kirkcaldy & Abbotshall, Fife (442)
Broughton, Peebles-shire can be found in Kilbucho, Broughton and Glenholm, Peebles-shire (763)

The 1881 censuses known to be missing are the second half of Dumfries (821) and the whole of Dunscore (822), both Dumfries-shire.

Hi Jacquie,

The 1841 lot have a number of explanations, more than SP has given. The enumeration books for Auchinleck and these Fife ones, plus a few more parts of parishes that were split across county boundaries from Fife were lost, presumed not to have completed the journey from London to Edinburgh (lost overboard from a ship is one version alleged, but I have not seen that verified). Cromdale is correctly explained. The other ones were not parishes at the time of the 1841 census, so the households later in these districts were enumerated in the parishes that were there at that time. So, for these ones it is not that the books have no entries, but that there were never any such books.

If you mean 1881 LDS on Scotlandspeople then it is not based on a different original census record. It is a different transcription of the census that was done by volunteers ( in the 1990's? - I was one of the volunteers but can't remember when it was). It was coordinated by the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) and many Family History Societies took part. It wasn't done for commercial gain which is the reason it is free.

Yes it is the LDS version on Scotlandspeople - used to cost 2 credits - but is now free - it can help trace others as there is a slight difference in some areas - the IGI as it was called the lather day saint aka Mormon's were allowed access to the OPR 's And other official Scottish records to digitise on one condition is free to access

NB: Always check if the records a officially  supplied or privately submitted because some of the submitted data can have errors  and always try and double check the transcription errors if not sure
But saying that it is a help source/ guide

Any differences between the LDS version and others is simply down to a different interpretation of the same source record. The LDS transcription was very carefully checked so maybe more accurate than the commercially produced ones.
