1851 census missing pages
Taken from a letter sent to 'Ancestors' Magazine Jan 2007
Although it is true that Ancestry.co.uk has, to its credit, included in its 1851 census collection scans (taken from microfilm) of water-damaged pages, this fails to address two important points.
Firstly, several parts of the 1951 census for Manchester, Salford and adjacent townships have never been filmed owing to their conditon and have not, therefore, been scanned for the Ancestry image collection. They include all returns for Pendleton, Pendlebury, Prestwich, Blackley, Harpurhey and Knott Lanes townships; and large parts of Deansgate, Chorlton upon Medlock, Hulme, London Road, St George's. Salford Greengate and Salford Regent Road sub-districts, together with Ashton under Lyne and Oldham townships.
Secondly, damaged pages filmed and scanned vary from partially to totally illegible and cannot be read other than by direct examination under ultraviolet lighting This means an index created from the filmed/scanned copies will be very inadequate.
