Barnard family on 1901 census, bit strange

[noo]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. With the help of the 1911 census I have finally managed to track down where my Barnard ancestors are originally from. On the 1901 census on Ancestry, the family come up, Samuel Barnard with Wife Annie. He is born in Friday Bridge Cambs, she in Wisbech. They are living in Wisbech. He is born about 1850, she is born about 1846. They are living on their own. However, when I go into the census image, which is of Wisbech (part of St Peter) they are no where to be found, I have gone through the whole 30 pages and still cant find them. On other census returns they are living somewhere called Oil Mill (or Mile) Yard in Wisbech St Peter. I dont know where this is or how to read the folio pages.

Typically I cant find them on the 1911 census either, although Cambs is supposed to be complete

Can anyone help?

Thank

Ancestry have made a mess of linking the image.
5 Oil Mill Lane. Wisbech
Samuel Barnard head marr 52 Railway porter b Friday Bridge
Annie Barnard wife 50 Charwoman b Wisbech

It's image 21 in Wisbech District 1. The link takes you to image 1 in District 2

I have reported it

Click View Record then scroll down to the bottom to pick up the reference:
Source Citation: Class:  ; Piece: 1555; Folio: 21; Page: 2.

As the page you're directed to (image 1 out of 30) is piece 1555 folio 27B page 14 it was clear that the correct page must be in the previous district

With the wrong image open look at the top and you'll see:
 You are here: Search > Census > UK Census Collection > 1901 England Census > Cambridgeshire > Wisbech St Peter > Wisbech > District 2

Click on Wisbech, then on the next window click on District 1. The folio that opens is number 11 - top right of census page. So for folio 21 just add 20 to the image number ie image 21

Welcome to Rootschat!

Not sure if you need help, but if you do it's always helpful to give as much information as possible. eg when did your grandparents marry, do you have a rough idea of birth dates, names of the brothers and sisters.

Not knowing if you're 15 or 75 will make a big difference to where to start looking
