Hi kiwifortyniner
Although Robert Aldridge was in Yorkshire for the 1861 census, the rest of his family may well have been at Walsham le Willows. Unfortunately, schedule numbers 30 to 49 (probably including part of Cranmer Green, where they were living in 1851) are missing. As posted to
RootsWeb's Suffolk mailing list in 2009:
Two leaves (four pages, covering 20 households) have been lost from the 1861 census of Walsham le Willows (RG 9/1144). A note at the foot of the description of Enumeration District 12 on folio 144 indicates that pages 7 to 10 had gone missing and may at some stage have been stored separately ("see loose leaves in cupboard"). This was apparently before acquisition by the Public Record Office (where the technical term for such absent pages would have been "wanting") as folio number 149 was then stamped on page 5 and f. 150 on p. 11. It seems very likely that the intervening pages have not survived ...
