I've just had one - clicked on one of the names in the list and it came up with a totally different name, as did the next one I clicked on and so on.

Not only does it do that, but each click takes you to completely different parts of the country!

Starting with Elizabeth Brown in Shoreditch, (on wozzle's original page) I clicked on John Beston who was apparently in her household. This took me to John Beston in Warboys (Cambs). Clicked on Caroline Fan which transported me to Stoke Newington, and from there clicked on William Barnell and found myself in Barnstaple!

It's like being trapped with no means of escape.

I couldn't access Ancestry at all earlier today but it's working fine now!

Have they been tinkering updating?

The 1851 is still the same, but the images are the correct ones, it's just all the household members which are strange.

Agreed, 1851 is still crazy, each click on a family members takes you on a rapid trip round the country!
What has happened?

crazy it seems the person who lived in the houshold is the person named at the top of the census sheet
so they may not actually live in 'your' household at all
