I put in the year then 2 to 5 years eitherside of it, like I said all the details I originally put in turned out to be correct. I have even tried searching without a year and same thing happens it comes up with nill results. Have also tried putting something in the keywords, like birthplace. |

When you say you put in a name and year do you mean a year of birth? If so I would just put in the name and county of birth (if you know it) as the way the census is taken means that the year of birth is often 1 year out (depending on whether the person has had their birthday that year or not by the time of the census). |

I have access to the census records on Ancestry, but when I do a search for a name and year it keeps coming up with no results. I thought that maybe the surname was spelt incorrectly so did other searches and came up with nothing. I then tried 1 of the childrens names and I got the results straight away. When I looked at the parents names, everything was spelt correctly, this has happened to me on numerous occassions with different ancesters. This is a bit puzzling to me, does anyone know why when all the details are correct, the search facility comes up with nill results? |
