Friday, August 28th, 20091901 census – missing pages from piece 336
Friday, August 28th, 2009We’ve discovered that a number of pages for piece 336 of the 1901 census were missed during scanning. As a result, both the images and transcriptions for these pages are currently missing from the site.
Rest assured, we’ve identified which pages are missing, and we are working to get these added.
Please bear with us while we correct the problem.
1851 and 1881 census image issues
Friday, August 28th, 2009We’ve identified some issues affecting a small number of our recently scanned images:
• Certain 1851 census images are displaying multiple census pages – when you view an image extra pages may appear next to or above the one you’ve asked for, which may mean the image is slow to load.
• Certain 1851 and 1881 census images have been cropped too closely and are missing the census reference numbers (RG, piece, folio and page numbers), although you can still view the references on the transcription page.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience these anomalies may cause. Both of these issues will be fixed soon.
