Issue with 1841 Census for Criccieth on Ancestry
« on: Wednesday 13 March 19 14:34 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon
Whilst working my way back on a family line I couldn't find them anywhere on Ancestry and so after a few searches for different spellings I checked FindMyPast and there they were !
So I took down the census reference and it was still not coming up - but I was doubting my method here as I rarely browse the census.   Searched for someone called Roberts in Criccieth - looked at them all and I can't see anything close to the folio number.  I can only see some 6 pages of Criccieth returns in Ancestry but there are more in FindMyPast. 

Could someone have a look and confirm my findings.

Thank you
Nesta

The family (per FindMyPast and agreed with info I know) are the

John Roberts 45 Mason
Jennet 45
Maurice 25
Eleanor 20 (my GGGG mother)
William 15
Robert 13
Margaret 11

They are resident at Pnygamdda, Criccieth and there are members of the family still living there in later census'

The reference is
Archive ref    HO107
Piece number   1391
Book number   2
Folio number   29
Page number   4

Are you putting in the surname -Ancestry have it as Robert

https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1841wales&indiv=try&h=13200667

I have sometimes been caught on Ancestry when using the reference numbers by forgetting to select Wales Census and wondering why I can't find it because I am looking in England  ::)  ;D   FindMyPast has them all together

Thank you so much - I had ticked sounds like and similar but it didn't pick it up.  I didn't think to do a wild card search........   

I didn't find it on the census reference search because I was looking for Criccieth and its been referenced as Llanbeblig !

I just put the census reference in and scrolled down the results.  Wales is sometimes a pain to search  ;D

I’d used the drill down method ... county, Parish, registration district and so on therefore I lost my chance as soon as I put Criccieth in!
