I tried a comparison on 1861 census. Ancestry gave me 12 names, 1837 gave me 106 and they were all different same with 1891 census.Ancestry 9 names 1837 24 names..I cant understand why they are so different.These were free searches. |

I don't think Ancestry is your problem,I think it's the name Henry Smith!!!!! I think it'd be a lot less stressful to buy their child's birth cert for Agnes's maiden name!!! |

As far as I know the GRO indexes on 1837 and Ancestry are identical,but both occasionally seem to have a page missing,unless the search doesn't offer it for some reason. I don't think I've had the marriage problem of finding one and not the other,unless its pre 1837 THAT marriage might not be on Free bmd,but others on the page quite possibly are,so when you find it on Ancestry,look on Beta for the page number and enter just that into free bmd Tell me what you are looking for and I'll see if 'fresh-eyes' help |

I know when the marriage isn't on freebmd so there would be no use searching for it.And I know it Maybe on Ancestry. |

I wonder if 1837online have more info than Ancestry.I seem to be undecided as some seem to approve and some disapprove.But can you understand how frustrating it is not to be able to find a spouse in a marriage?? |

Once it's given you the quarter,look up on the beta index for the page number,then try free bmd just put in the quarter,year vol and page -no names |

I cannot find any page numbers so you cannot find the spouse in a marriage.Ihave tried freebmd but sometimes they don't have the marriage and Ancestry does |
