1871 England Census search on "Ancestry"?
« on: Monday 13 March 17 15:05 GMT (UK) »
Is anyone else having a problem today trying to search 1871 England census entries on "Ancestry"?
It throws up Wales, Scotland, Isle of Man, and Channel Islands, but not England when I'm searching  under Census> 1871>, for a person I know to have been in the North of England at the time. No response at all. Can't recall that ever happening before....

Yes...but not paticularly 1871 census I am having problems with search results...even when restricting to "England" searches I'm getting USA, Canada et al results...it's reverting to "All Collections" each time.

Yes, it was the 1871 census, going via search criteria tabulated, then selecting "census", then "1870s",  and it simply wouldn't let me see England 1871 that way. I'll use the format you show and "report back". Thanks.

Just got it, straight away, that way. Thanks - bit dozy of me not to simply have thought of another way round. The route I took - the lazy one, I admit - worked for the same person in each decade bar that one. Thanks you, Rosie99.

Thats ok TY.

I have been having problems for weeks with a search on there  (can't remember which now) that allows me to add children to the person I am looking for but not the wife/husband  ::)

- and I wish that there was a category for "Chap she was living with, but neither of them ever claimed they were married" ! I suspect that'd be useful for a lot of us.

Absolutely! I had a right job including my ex (father of my kids) for a start, and that's before I started working back through some of the other little scallywags
