ancestry co.uk going crazy

[escargot]

Anyone else experienced this -

I'm looking for family in Surrey 1851 and three times in a row when I have 'hovered' on the view record bit on Ancestry  have had listed on 'rest of family members' a list of names like this -

James Brownjohn  6
James Brownjohn 30
James Brownjohn 11

when I looked on the original census there is not even a name remotely like the one listed.

On one there was an even longer list of the same name with different ages and not one was on the original census!

Just had another go and  on the whole page of results the same thing is happening!

Is it me .......................

Same thing happened to me 5 minutes ago

Ann Heppelwhite 70
Ann Heppelwhite 67

bearing no similarity whatsoever either to anybody in the household or indeed anybody else on the page!

Oh, that's all right then!  I thought it was my computer for a minute.  Perhaps it is some sort of glitch...  Seriously, though it doesn't make my search any easier.  I think I'll leave it and come back tomorrow.

Thanks Anna

It seems to be a new problem today - it only happens on the summary page, so if you click on "View others on page" you still get the correct names without having to go to the image.

is it just me or has anyone else noticed that when you get the source citation page for a census year up on ancestry and scroll down the page to see the people living there they all appear to have one name.
an example on 1851 census for sarah swain;/ HO107/1534/69/55.
the only name that then comes up is james beeston and jane beeston.
could SKS have a look and see if they get the same result.

I thought my eyes had finally gone    I have been looking for the surname Rice on numerous censi, found one, when I clicked on it, all the reisdents were listed asa Williams 


Glad it's not just me Wozzle

The first family I looked up this morning all had my own name - quite spooky until I realised it was a glitch!

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.

Really wierd.  Haven't come across my own name yet though!!
