I'm sure you used to be able to search for a census entry on Ancestry by using an RG No., Piece: No., Folio & Page No.

For some reason I don't seem to be able to do it . . . . . or am I doing something wrong?

Any tips & help would be most welcome.

You just need to turn it back to old search option

In the right hand corner just underneath add to quick links there is an option to turn it back to old search.

I don't see it !

In the top right corner there is "To-Dos" next to that "Quick Links", but I don't see an option to turn back to old search.

Am I having another senior moment?

SomersertGirl - I don't see that either !

The last box in the search area is "Gender" under that is the Search button.

What am I doing wrong ! !
