I have been doing 1851 lookups for a few days with no problems (well, apart from not finding people lol). Today when I go into the 1851 site and enter a name to search, I am taken to the results for the 1861 census. Any ideas on how to correct this??? Anyone eose getting the same? Merry x

I can't get onto it all - even by going to ancestry main census search page and selecting for results in 1851 maybe we weren't meantt o have it and we're playing havoc with their system when you go to 1851 home page theres also a link to a news story of '1851 online and busy' that youcant access either

When you do get on the site - save it to favourites and next time you only have to change the name.
