I have been using ancestry.co.uk to search through the census returns for Coedpoeth. I was relying upon the 1881 census for information only to find that 5 pages for Coedpoeth are unreadable. I was wondering if this was an ancestry.co.uk problem or whether the pages have been damaged and the information lost forever? If damage has been doen then it might explain why I can't find the elusive John Gwynne (see separate post about my search for him!!) The details for the missing pages are as follows: 1881census - Denbighshire - Bersham - 3A - District 7 - pages 34, 35, 37, 41,42.

Hi hgk, Some of my family are living in the Talwrn Road area of Coedpoeth and are on page 35. These pages are very difficult to read but they have been transcribed fairly accurately for my lot. This may not be the case for all though Try using the magnifier or increasing the % to see it a little better. It isn't an ancestry problem but the actual condition of the originals I'm afraid. Perhaps it may be worth a try doing a search on another site. You never know I have tried the 1881 census index on familysearch for you but couldn't find him.

These are the transcriptions for the following pages with a little cross checking. " The details for the missing pages are as follows: 1881census - Denbighshire - Bersham - 3A - District 7 - pages 34, 35, 37, 41,42." You may be mixing up page and ancestry image nos. too as they run out of sequence due to absence of page nos. and/or pages so I have included both. Hope this helps. pg.34, image 34ROGERS & JONES children to family pg.33 William THOMAS & family inc Edward THOMAS lodger. George JONES & family at the Butchers Arms David JONES and his wife. Children transcribed as DAVIES. (Very poor condition) Edward WILLIAMS & his wife, children by the surnames Williams and Hanthingy. ;D The swear box strikes again! Pg.35,image 35 Jonathan SAMUELS and family inc Ellinor HONNE John KELLY & family John JONES & family ;D pg.37, image 37 (very poor condition) ROBERTS children to parents on pg.36 John GRIFFITHS & family Henry DAVIES & family inc 2x Smith children and an Ellen Platt. Top of page 38 states "pages 39 &40 missing"Page 41, image 39 is easily readable and so is pg.42, image 40. pg.43, image 41 is only half a page showing occupations and places of birth but no names unfortunately??? Pg 44, image 42 this gives names but little else John HUGHES & family Samuel WILLIAMS & family inc Daniel EDWARDS lodger Hugh JONES & family Thomas WILLIAMS & family Thomas FRANCIS & family John & Elizabeth JONES Caroline BROOKS
