1841 census - Elizabeth is 1yr & living in Canonbie.  Father John is a blacksmith

I can see it when I look on ancestry but not on myheritage - is this a common issue? I'm trying to approach it from a few different ways to see the record, maybe it's been uploaded differently :/

I've just checked and I don't think My Heritage has the complete 1841 Scottish census online:

Quote
The records in this collection make up 4.3% of the complete 1841 Scotland Census.

Oh! I didn't see that, how annoying - I wonder why myheritage doesn't have it but ancestry does! I went for myheritage over ancestry as google said it was better for Europe and ancestry better for abroad.  Ah well, I've copied and pasted it to her bio - no wonder I couldn't find it, tried every way I could think of!
Thank you

Just to make sure, I did a search for her but she must have been in the missing 95.7%

Matches Monica's previous find, Don

Possible birth for Elizabeth www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYLQ-8RX to parents John Graham and Elizabeth Hill?

airsle, a brilliant source for the 1841 census is the volunteer transcribed www.freecen.org.uk Particularly good for the earlier censuses.

Also good for the border counties is www.scottishindexes.com Family does show in 1851 here but not 1841. This site is a useful resource, not just for censuses.
