Wigan 1861 Census Ancestry v Findmypast
« on: Friday 17 February 12 13:25 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

Wigan has quite a few problems with the Ancestry Index in 1861, some transcripts do not link to the correct index. I have reported this so it may get fixed sometime.

Another problem I noticed is that it may be missing a district eg HATTON, James 1829, born warrington RG09/2777/59/14. He is not indexed in Ancestry, but is in Findmypast and I can't find the image in Ancestry either. Ancestry has districts 33 and district 35, suggesting district 34 is missing.

I'm sure there is a list of folios against district somewhere on line, can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me where 34 ends and the folios for district 34. 35 seems to start around 2777/78, but I can't tell the page number from ancestry.

Thanks,
Deryck
