Hi all, 1st post here.
I have only been a subscriber for a few days and as such have been busy looking up bmd's cenuses etc. I have noticed what appears to be two cousins on here and have msg'd them both in the hope of a reply to confirm or not that we are related. Right enough waffle, the point of the post.
I seem to have hit an anomaly with the 1891 census on here. I searched for a relative Charles Audley b1885 residing in Aston with his wife Mary Ann and children. I duly got the hit and found all I required.
When I then looked at the original I saw that his neighbour was an Eliza Blizzard. This was good news for me as Mary Ann's maiden name is Blizzard. So the neighbour could well be related. So I then searched for Eliza Blizzard to see the translated versions to read better, but the search returned no results ?
Even trying various differing spellings and put all the info from the original that the search would allow me to still gave zero results?
Is there a problem then with some records. That is to say am I likely to hit more problems at some time? I eventually got the household transcription from FreeCen. Search Eliza Blizzard Aston bang there it is??? Very strange

How do you do that, on the census search a surname is mandatory. Otherwise I'd have tried. I'd also have tried an address search but again thats not an option here

Thx again, posted a lil quick there for me lol
As I said I found the transcript at FreeCen. Looks like you went to FMP. I was referring to the search on this site.
But many thanks for the look up
