Thank you they certainly don't make it easy for us.
Being in Worksop explains some of the odd bmd results i had seen and probably discounted, I will go back and have another look

REGISTRATION DISTRICTS IN YORKSHIRE WEST RIDING
The list below shows the civil registration districts in the West Riding of the county of York (Yorkshire) between 1st July 1837 and 31st March 1974. The same districts were used to compile the censuses returns for the years 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901.

Worksop is listed near the bottom so for the census it would be in Nottinghamshire

Anston, North and south are on the boarder of notts and south yorks and to this day the address comes under yorks but it has a notts phone number

i would think that for census it would show as Nottinghamshire

Thank you Reggie, I think I have found the mistranscription I was looking for. I hadn't got any results because I hadn't got exact match ticked on the blank search page, so when I put Anston in it said there were no matches.,ticking exact search brought up 498.
Thank you Margaret because the BIVRI disc had some older results not on the IGI so I got another generation back.

Thank you everyone, it is close to the border. so I will go and look now. I have the BVRI discs, so will look at them, I keep forgetting about them
I just found them in 1861 when they were missing as well. I knew they were in Derbyshire by then. It doesn't help when despite the image clearly reading John Lister, Ancestry have transcribed it as Sister John

The BVRI discs have records for Anston, Yorkshire and there are a few Listers there.

Piece 2122 is Nottinghamshire..........

This seems to be the only Yorks 'piece' missing from 1851..........

Reg

No result for 'Anston/Yorkshire'

However, if you put simply Anston in the 'Civil parish' box, there are numerous results for North Anston, Notts.........and many of the residents list their birthplace as Anston, Yorks.............could there have been some boundary adjustments?

Reg

I want to look through the Ancestry pages for Anston in 1851 in the hope of finding a mis transcription.
I can't find it in the usual enumeration descriptions. According to the Rotherham family history society it is HO107/2122 but I still can't find it.
I would be grateful if anyone can give me a link into it.
The family name is Lister
