Could someone have a look at an 1881 census image for me please?

I have found the record for Emily Lantaff aged 8 living in the Union Workhouse, Hemingford Grey, St Ives with her mother Elizabeth, brother George and sister Susan. The record is fine but when I click on view image (on Ancestry), I can't find them on page? I have looked at all the pages for the workhouse and can't see them. Am I going mad?

Thanks very much

Andrea

Thanks Alice, I thought my eyesight was going from staring at these images for too long!

Thanks for looking Pamela - not sure I really understand the reference numbers? Can I search the census pages by reference numbers rather than by name and maybe find the correct page that way?

They must be there somewhere for the record to have been transcribed surely? It all fits that they would have been in the workhouse too because hubby had died.

Thanks for help!

Thanks Pamela,

I've now tried that (didn't realise that you could search like that so thanks for the tip!), unfortunately that second reference doesn't come up with anything.

Thanks for the help. I've now transferred this query over onto the Tips Board to see if anyone has any other ideas.
