I can´t see anything obvious for 1861. However, it would appear that on Ancestry there are 11 districts transcribed for Ramsey in 1851 and 10 districts transcribed in 1871. In 1861 there is only 1 district transcribed for Ramsey - so if they were still living there in 1861 they could be on the missing transcriptions. Have also checked 1861 on 1837online - and they don´t appear to show up there either.
