We now have 2 instances where people trying to help us find something quote e.g.
" see HO107 1861 429 p5".
We would be pleased to know how to go about opening that page on Ancestry.
Thanks, T & daughter.

Buy a Subscription? ;D

From this link you can select the year the census was taken (Included data collections:)
https://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/group/ukicen
Having selected and clicked year/England etc at the bottom of the page you are asked for Piece - Folio and page
The instance you have given is
1851 (H0107)
Piece no 1861
folio 429
page 5
ADDED - If you have selected the year as I suggested it will not ask for the first bit of the reference quoted as it relates to the census year
1841 - H0107 (reference will also give a book number)
1851 - H0107
1861 - RG9
1871 - RG10
1881 - RG11
1891 - RG12
1901 - RG13
1911 - RG14
Hope that makes sense

Thanks rosie99. I am feeling a bit 'two plankish' for when I add piece, folio & page - exactly in each case, up comes
"Your search returned zero good matches." Is there someting else? T

Is your family in Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire
I have just used the 1851 page and only putting in the numbers and got results
1851

No.
Joseph Cleall 39 dairyman born S. Perrott was living at Symondsbury, Dorset.
If you get Great Gaddesden then I feel that the information given me on Dorset RootsChat is suspect.
Back to the drawing board, but very many thanks for your trouble. T

Using reference HO 107 / 1861/ 429/ 5 on FindMyPast takes me to entries in Symondsbury in Dorset. This was the reference given by nanny jan on your Dorset thread earlier today.

It is Ancestry Jen ::)
I have just tried again and put that reference in on Anc and nothing else and the image it takes me to is H0107 /1715
-
Using the info that the OP has given in Reply #5 , the ref from Ancestry is Piece 1860 Folio 117 Page 5
Added - image gives that info too.
But living in South Perrott
-
Sorry - wrong Joseph Cleall. I know there's a reason for not using Ancestry!!!
-
My head hurts ::) ;D
Hopefully OP will let us know if we are right
From the other thread so not the one I found
1851 has a Joseph Cleall (b 1812) with wife Fanny and three children at Vearse (?), Symondsbury.
HO107, piece 1861, folio 429, pg 5. Image just shows "Parish of Symondsbury".
-
I cannot find Symondsbury Parish on the 1851 on Ancestry. It doesn't appear in the drop-down list of parishes on the right-hand side of the page.
-
Just been doing the same search, Jennifer, with the same result.
I also tried the daughter, Elizabeth, without a surname but nothing came up for her either.
Think it's one of Ancestry's missing pieces :-\

I agree, I've tried searching for several other people on other pages and can't find any of them.
It ain't there ;D But it definitely exists because it's there loud and clear on FindMyPast.
I feel that the information given me on Dorset RootsChat is suspect.
No, the information you've been given here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=798476.msg6557211#msg6557211 is absolutely correct. However, it doesn't seem to exist on Ancestry.

In Ancestry Piece 1861 only goes up to Folio 303 Page 35.

Complete with the correct reference.

I've added the ref on the other thread, just in case.

Sorry - double post.

I've come across that a number of times - Ancestry has missing pages or a whole missing village when FindMyPast has the records - and sometimes the other way round.
There are also some records which neither have because they got lost or damaged in the distant past

Sorry to stir up a hornet's nest. Not all bad however. At least I now know how to use HO107 etc. T
