We are helping a couple of sisters to find their gt.grandparents family of Benjamin Reed who married a Hannah Wilson/Ritchie. Hannah was illegitimate and there is no record of her birth or baptism, born a Ritchie but raised by a Wilson family.
For the moment I would just like to see an image of the 1901 census. We have found them on the 1891 and 1911 census and 1939 registers but have had trouble finding the 1901 census. I know it is there as it comes up on UK Census on line as:
Hannah Reed 32 Durham 1869 Conway, Durham
Benjamin Reed 32 Coal Hewer Durham 1869 Upton Nober, Somerset
I subscribe to My heritage at moment having let Ancestry go for the time being and a friend has FindMyPast which also doesn't find a result, and nor does Family Search.
However I was able to spot Benjamin in an Ancestry Index for 1901 where the surname comes up as BEED - they have Benjamin Beed Hannah about 1869 Durham
In 1891 and 1911 Hannah gave her birthplace as 'Cornsay' which UKcensusonline have as 'Conway' and this is important as previously one sister has been looking at a Hannah Wilson born Toft Hill - quite some distance from Cornsay. I think Upton Nober should be Upton Noble.
So if somebody could kindly find the image on Ancestry that would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks, Malcolm

The image is on Ancestry under the name Beed as you said. RG13/4760 99 Page 5.
What are you wanting to know from the image?

Have you ruled out this birth?
RITCHEY, HANNAH (mmn blank, suggesting illegitimacy)

I don't think we've seen that one. I've just had another look in FreeBmd and it doesn't come up - oh oh - different spelling. We've tried so many variations and somehow missed that one It fits with 23 August 1870 and district would cover Toft Hill.
Thanks Malcolm
