I seem not to be able to find a lot of people on the 1891. Was it particularly mistranscribed or is part of it missing? I have even had people on here try to help and not be able to find my families either. Yet I have found them on the 1901. Is anyone else finding this? Please put me out of my misery!!!!

Sorry Zoe I hit the wrong key. Looking for Henrietta Fuller b. 1844 Romford Essex wife and Thomas b. 1844 Landon Hills Head and family. I have to tell you other people have not been able to find them, so if you can't they just are really hiding somewhere. I just suddenly found my YARROWS under Gerrow, and also under GILLOW in 1881. Perhaps an easy name to mistake. I had been trying what I thought was every thing and then suddenly they pop up. Thanks for looking. Maggie.

Well that one stumped me so much going to go to bed to rest my weary eyes, That's a hard one I don't know if there are any missing pieces from 1891, I'm sure someone will know though Nite and bye for now Zoe

Thanks for looking for me Zoe. I went to bed over here too. I am just having general trouble with finding people on the 1891. It must be that it is the most badly mistranscribed of them all!! Have to get inventive now!!!

Maggie I can't find people in 1841, 51, 61,71,81 or 1901, not just 1891!!!!!!!!!! But having had a lot of experience looking at census pages I must say that for every dozy transcriber who can't tell that a wife is called Jane and not James and that Camligger is obviously Cambridge, there must be some geniuses about. Some pages look as though a drunken spider has tapdanced on them after dipping all 8 feet into an inkwell! nell

Maggie I just put Henrietta born 1840 plus or minus 5 years Essex and then looked through the names Deller seemed a possible mistranscription of Fuller. I have saved the image message me if youd like it. Sue
