Finding a vessel in 1871/81 Census

[peter nicholl]

How do I find a vessel in one or both Census, when I don't know any of the crew? Back in history I had the LDS 1881 Census on cd and it was possible to look up a vessel, but on-line has me stumped.
The vessel is named Falmouth (perhaps HMS) on dockyard duty at Devonport Dockyard, a schooner I think.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Is this the HMS Falmouth that was sunk in 1916?

I would imagine Peter is looking for the HMS Falmouth (1807). See Wikipedia.

In the Ancestry version of the 1871 and 1881 censuses, load the main search page for "1881 England Census" or "1871 England Census", look under "Browse this Collection". There is a county called "Royal Navy". I can't see the Falmouth though.

Where do I find "Browse this collection"? I have the 1881 UK Census Collection screen open but can't find the Browse

Scroll to the bottom of the page and you should see choices on the left. Select “1881 England Census” and the 'browse' box is on the right.

Cannot spot a "Falmouth"

I also checked 1881 Crew Lists in case NOT H.M.S - drew a blank

Thanks everyone. As it was (as Peter said, built in 1807) only 70 feet long, it may well be that no one was on board over night and hence it didn't count.

Nothing on my screen on the right. The only option I have is on the left and it says Included data collections, which shows Channel Island, Isle of Mann etc. I think I may be on the wrong page to start with or I have a different version of Ancestry (?)

Found it, yes I was on the wrong page!
