Ancestry do actually list what they know is missing from the 1851 - mainly bits of Lancashire. Maureen

When you get the search box up for 1851 then scroll down and eventually a list of missing pieces appear. Good luck, Maureen

It's not complete. I have a few that are missing. However, it also terribly transcribed, so they might just have fallen under the Light for Smith category lol

Claire, I think that with every census, some people hide in corners where they can't be found, unfortunately! Could also be the dreaded mice as with the 1861!! :-) Joy
