Find Ancestors

Don't forget to make sure you are logged in to Ancestry co uk before you try the website addy Tracy gave....... Merry

I can use it, it looks like a beta test site to me, because not everything is working properly. They have lauched a test site a few days before launching the real thing! Caroline

No, wait - I have the big boxes now! It changed when I opened another window and logged onto ancestry in that one, then clicked refresh in the 1851 window. I may be gone some time now...! Kate.

I haven't got any big boxes at the top! What am I doing wrong? Kate.

well i can't find it either,all i get by following those instructions is 14 day free trial to ancestry, karen

I'm so excited, I've forgotten who my brick walls are! lol Working for me via the web addy Tracy gave (thank you SOOOOOO much!!!!). Don't go down the page to where it says ''1851 Eng'' or ''1851 Wales''....just put your search name in the big boxes at the top. When you get the first list of results, if you don't like Ranked Results, you can change to Exact at that point and then continue with Exact. Merry xxx

It's working fully now!!! :D Still not on the main searches though.

Wow Karen Loads There maybe all of it See everyone later when it ancestry crashes !!!!! Sue

roflol... I tried to submit a correction for one of the 1851 entries and got this.. No Search Record Found You are trying to access a record that does not exist.

Fantastic......... thanks for letting us all know Much happiness Debi

It only appears to show Ranked Matches. When I try to change to Exact, it goes away.

Tracy Thanks for giving us the full info............it does help Rose And it works................ Well spotted, Karen......

It's true! Trust me. Go to http://www.1851-census.*co.uk/ Put your name in the Ancestor's First Name: Ancestor's Last Name: part and submit. You have to be logged into Ancestry.*co.uk for it to work. 1851 England Census Record about John Sager Name: John Sager Age: 37 Estimated birth year: abt 1814 Relation: Head Household: View other family members Gender: Male Where born: Barnsley, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Worsbrough County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Source information: HO107/2333 Registration district: Barnsley Sub-registration district: Darfield ED, institution, or vessel: 1c Folio: 216 Page: 27 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 101 GSU Number: 87577 If you are subscibed to *com, simply change the address once you have completed the search. I know for a fact he's not on the sample.

You can't find the sample...............if the name and county you are researching happens to be among those covered, it will come up automatically under 'results'. Very few counties have been touched.........I think Devon is about the best so far (but not sure on that) Rose

Even a ranked search for John Smith brings no results The 2 links for 1851 England and Wales bring up page cannot be displayed

Still only sample for me too!

Its definately there, other people have found it aswell (as was beginning to think I was going mad for one mo :-) ) if you search through 1851-census and in the top box put in the persons name and click search it takes you to ancestry. Karen

Still only the sample..............tried Karen's way; nothing. Rose

Go through 1851-census and its there and you can search :-)

hiyah Just tried still the sample for me. Germaine x
