  • 1881 census - no image

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me where i might look to see the image for the 1881 Wales census ( RG11 piece 5311 folio 87 page 1)
    The image on Ancestry is 46 pages long, but doesnt actually have the proper image and there is nothing on GR, is there somewhere else i could look?

    Thanks
    Marie

    Can you give more details of who you are looking for - name, age, birthplace etc.
    I have looked at this and when I got to page 3 it had the most beautifully scripted census I have ever seen, someone has taken real pride in their work.

        I now see what you mean Marie - a real problem.
        Do you have the family in 1871 or 1891 and perhaps you could search for a neighbour and hope that the family haven't moved.
        I am not sure what to suggest, assuming that you have trawled through all the pages.
        I suppose you could contact ancestry but that would be a long term solution, if they sort it out.
        Sorry that I have no solution. I think this is an indexing problem but then again I am no expert. I have tried a search just with the address but that doesn't help.
        Hmmmmmmmm - really stuck but I am sure one of the more experienced researchers can help.
        Good luck.

          I'm getting the same as you Marie......if you look down the list for Thomas with wife Mary....then when you get the numbered image just go through the pages...then you'll come to the images

          Jean ...If that makes sense
          Jean....the mist is starting to clear

            The 1881 census is searchable by address. Street address underneath county.

              Have you tried the LDS version on family search?

              If you find them on there then the folio, page etc will be on there. Then you can find them on Ancestry.

                Thanks Herky and Jean
                I have looked thro all 46 pages again, but my family nor their address is there.
                Margaret - have tried doing an address search , but it tells me there are no matches

                Thanks all for looking
                Marie


                PS Herky. I dont have the family in ant other census as yet. Was usisng this one as the address matched the one on Thomas Jn's MC

                Thanks again

                  Have you tried the LDS site? It does allow spelling differences.

                  Trouble is, Davies is very very common in Wales

                    Thanks Margaret, just tried that but it doesnt recognise the address either.
                    Is there any other place that i can try?

                          Hi Marie,

                          I've found them on 'findmypast' the 1881 is free to search. You will need to register unless you are already registered for the 1911, in which case you can use the same login.

                            This gets more complicated, I've found the image on Ancestry for address: 99 Twynyrodyn but it's not the Davies family living there, it's William and Mary James, and family. Look at Lower Merthyr Tydfil, district 3b, image numder 4.

                            Sorry to have misled you re Findmypast, it only has the index you cannot look at the original sheet.

                              What year did Thomas junior get married? Could the family still be at the address you have in 1891? Could the National Archives help as the images belong to them don't they?

                                How do you know the ages for people other than Thomas junior?

                                  Hi
                                  Margaret and Susan
                                  On Ancestry you can view the record without looking at the original image (which you know) and i got the ages from that. And the address is the same one as Thomas Jn had when he married in 1884 (I have the MC for that one)
                                  and on a prevoius thread Kiterunner found the 1881 census matching the address and occ of Thomas Sn, but she had the same problem with the image.
                                  I have tried find my past but with no luck and wondered if there were any other sites i might try?


                                  Thanks again
                                  marie

                                  PS will try 1891 and see if they are still at the same address

                                  update. Thomas Sn is still at the same address in 1891, living alone as a widower

                                    Marie, did you look at the image for Lower Merthyr Tydfil, district 3b, image 4, it's definitely 99, Twynyrodyn?

                                      I've found them on the LDS site.

                                      I searched for Richard Davies with head of household Thomas Davies and it was the first one in the list.

                                        Unfortunately that gives exactly the same ref numbers as Ancestry.
