The 1901 census from National Archives shows 45 individuals called Wallis living in Huddersfield. Valentine is not one of them, but there is a "Geo Henry Wallis", aged 45 - was it this one you were looking for?

the 1901 site address search comes up with 103 separate addresses for Luck Lane spread across three wards of Huddersfield:

Marsh Ward in the parish of All Saints Paddock;

the ward called "Marsh" in the parish of Holy Trinity; and

the ward of Lindley in the parish of Lindley St Stephen.

I suppose these might all be on Ancestry, under different enumeration districts, but it seems more likely that Ancestry have missed something that is available. I agree with you, email Ancestry to check whether there is a fault that can be corrected.

PS The National Archives site for the 1901 census only mentions missing enumeration books for the sub-district of Deal in Kent.

Hi Jennifer,

I just saw Paddock and thought of Kent.

There is another Valentine Wallis but American showing on 1901 census on National Archives.

Good luck with the search.

Thanks Glitter Baby, I omitted from my original mail that I was looking at Huddersfield, so the Valentine you found for me is not the right one. I never thought there could be 2 men with that same name. I think I'll contact Ancestry and ask about the missing images.

Regards Jennifer

1901 on National Archives has a Valentine Wallis age 59 born Farningham and living there. Occupation given as fruit grower.

I think the list of missing pages was for 1861 census - might be wrong.

EG: Huddersfield 1901 Enumeration Districts 18 & 19 give a full description of the streets (Marsh/Paddock) but on looking at the actual images they are obviously missing. District 19 for instance has only 1 image with 4 houses on Luck Lane which can't be right as on the description there are at least 10 streets mentioned. Is this a fault with Ancestry or are there pages missing? If so it would explain why I can't find people with fairly unusual names in 1901 such as Valentine Wallis or George Henry Wallis.

I think there has been a thread about missing pages on here but can't find it, can someone nudge or tell me where to look

Many thanks
