Having made great leaps through getting a death cert and finding another branch of my family, I can't see them in 1861.

Susan Ann Moore married William David Dellar in Cambridge in 1860, but I can't find them 1861. I know their eldest child was baptised Ely in 1862, when William was a colour sgt with the Cambs militia, so I looked for Ely and guess what? It's missing from 1861. Does anyone know if any bits of the census would have been recorded elsewhere before they disappeared? Or was the Ely enumerator a drunken sot who never filled it in?! nell

Its odd- i put just 'ELY' in the parish box, and all i got was 17 entries in all. ( Ely Trinity though) Jess x

Well you know how it is Jess, you get all excited with info on a cert, find a marriage and baptisms and censuses, and then you get stuck. I went to the LMA today and was v. frustrated. Did some look ups for others, and then got cracking on husband's London lot. Guess what - the relevant baptism register for gt gt gran is MISSING. And it took me nearly an hour to plough through ONE YEAR of a populous parish looking for someone who wasn't there! I'd forgotten how many people were living in London. I could do an entire generation of folk in the same time in a little Norfolk parish. Oh, and STILL can't find wretched 2nd marriage of my gt grandma, despite discovering a new church to search. But I did have a bit of a roll last week and added tons of new leaves to my tree, so mustn't grumble. nell

I want doesn't get, Nell! And unfortunately it is true in this case. Ely isn't on Ancestry and it doesn't survive anywhere else. Somebody queried this a couple of years back. Full of optimism, I headed for the FRC, to discover that virtually everything is missing.
