The link below is to the Haigh census returns from 1861 on Ancestry. content(.)ancestry(.)co(.)uk/Browse/list(.)aspx?dbid=8767&path=Lancashire(.)Haigh Unfortunately the first few pages haven't been scanned (the first scanned page is page 6 and it is clearly a continuation from a household on the unscanned page 5). Frustratingly, the house that I believe my ancestors lived at is in these missing pages. Does anyone know how I might be able to find a source for these unscanned pages? Dave

Hi David, have you tried the pay per view site www.findmypast.*com , they have the 1861 on there. I have not got any credits, so unfortunately cannot check if they have the missing pages.

I've bought some units on findmypast and the pages which are missing from Ancestry are indeed on Findmypast but, surprisingly for me, the ancestors that I was expecting to find on those missing pages are not there. Many thanks for pointing me towards the site though - it's at least ruled out Haigh as the possible location of those particular ancestors of mine. I'll now do a bit more looking round the Findmypast website to see what I should spend the rest of my units on. Dave
