Cool 1851 Census

I found extracts from the 1851 Census for three members of my Hockey family on the Beta site. However, I cannot find the actual census return on Ancestry.
Kite has mentioned that there is a problem with that census, some lost returns, but if there is an extract doesn't that mean that there should be a return or how can it be extracted. Does that make sense?

The extracts from the censuses on FamilySearch are from findmypast, not ancestry, so it could well be that they are mistranscribed on ancestry. Can you post up the details you have from FamilySearch and I'll see if I can find them?

She found them on the Beta site, does that make a difference?

They are 1851 though, so I'd be interested to know what search terms you entered to find them on the pilot as I still can't get them!

Merry, If I can find it you sure can. I just went into the Beta site - Into the Historical Records boxes and I put in James and Hockey, Place - Charlton Adam, Somerset and it then brought him up in the 1851, 1881 and 1891 Census. Now You Can Go Find Him .... and I am Going to Bed. It is 1 am GNite

They are on the Beta site and I could not find them on the Pilot site either. I checked in the England/Wales Census 1851 and they are there.
