Help with Ancestry Birth Index Image-Sorted

I'm wading through the Birth Indexes on Ancestry for Robert Fowler, I've viewed the years 1938 and 1940, but when I click on 1940 and 1941 I can only view Jan.. Apr.. July..Quarters. The Sept Quarters just give a blank page with a message "Error Processing Image Request". I've also tried going in the long way through Search>Year Range>Qtr.>1st letter of last name> and I still get the same message. Anyone know what else I can do?

Thanks for looking anyway Linda, I'm also finding at least one qtr. missing completely, in three consequetive years.
I was just going to try FMP but if you cant find them on there I'll postpone the search.

Thanks

Hi - I've just tried this, and managed to get some results. Often the links are faulty/broken, and you have to be crafty.

My initial findings searching for Robert Fowler:

1940 Sept quarter missing?
1941 all present
1942 Dec quarter missing?

Check 1940 Sep qtr only - input name Fo = success.
Click on that.
Fowlers are on page 24 of 34. Go direct to that page.

Check 1942 Dec qtr only - input name Fo = success.
Click on that.
Fowlers are on page 26 of 36. Go direct to that page.
