1871 surname index Ashton-u-Lyne

[dinkey]

I have discovered that there is no  surname index for the 1861 A-U-L census.  I wish I lived in this area then I could trawl through the census myself.

Do you know, or does anyone else know, whether the same situation applies to the 1871 A-U-L census.

I am trying to discover whether Joseph & Alice Travis were still alive then and don't know without having access to these census records how best to proceed.

Ancestry is working on 1871 censuses , although I don't know what stage they are at.

www.thegenealogist.co.uk are producing a 1871 index, but have so far completed only one piece out of 25 for A-U-L with  7 'In progress'

1861 is at about the same stage. Only Newton sub-district is done.
