Deptford 1861: missing pages
« on: Tuesday 02 June 09 17:03 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know about pages missing from the 1861 census for Deptford St Pauls, Enumeration District 42? It's supposed to cover Bridge Place, Trundley's Lane, Midway Place, Lee Terrace, Robinson Terrace, Stanley Terrace and Lower Road, but I can't get beyond No 5 Robinson Terrace on either of the subscription sites which I use.  Unfortunately, the person I'm looking for - Walter  WARD, born  6 Feb 1861, was the son of John and Jane WARD who lived at No 6!

Thanks,

Kath

It does look like you're out of luck there. Theres nothing on the list of missing pages on ancestry for that district but looking at them the last couple of pages (up to 5 Robinson Terrace) are in increasingly poor condition. I guess the last page (or so) were just either too badly damaged, or not there at all.

Have you tried asking ancestry, or whoever you subscribe to?

It doesn't go any further than 5  on FindMyPast either  :-\

Neither can I find it on address search on the 1871 - in fact Robinson Terrace, Deptford,  wont come up at all   :-\

Thank you both for taking the trouble to look. I suppose it might be worth submitting a query to Ancestry as to why the pages peter out before the end of the enumeration district.
