Missing Census Districts- Warrington1841?

Dagwood · Post by **Dagwood** » 25 May 2011 14:38

I'm researching family back in 1841 and can find all those I know of in the one area except for a couple who should be there in the next street (Oliver Street) I've been puzzled by the missing census info until last night when I got round to checking each enumeration district to check where this street is or should be. I was surprised to see that districts 2 to 9 (and hence returns?)out of a set 1 to 16 are not shown. Can anyone advise me as to why this might be and where else I could look? I'm using Ancestry.co.uk.
Any assistance appreciated

I have looked on http://www.FindMyPast.co.uk with the following results.

They do not list any missing 1841 Census records for Warrington.

A search for Oliver Street, Warrington, Lancashire listed Schedule numbers 3258 to 3318 inclusive with no gaps.

Let me know the missing persons names and I could look them up for you.

Looking on Ancestry all the Census Returns are there, unless some individual pages are missing. Ancestry actually show districts 1-22. I can see why you think other districts might be missing because drop down list shows 1 and then 10-16, iff you scroll down you will find all the other districts in Warrington.
Shows this way as done Alpabetically so goes 1,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20,21,22,3,4 etc.

So person should show up although could be mistranscribed.

Many thanks for the offer of assistance Tatewise. I followed Tim's advice and found the Sykes' I was looking for as Sypes on District 17. My thanks to you both for your replies and help.
