    Default an 1861 census

    Find My Past, with its lovely free access today, doesn't seem to be able to find an 1861 census that Ancestry can find. I wonder if anyone can tell me the relevant reference numbers please ?

    living together (I think) somewhere in Kent 1861

    Harriet Jane Ward born 1812
    Adelaide Barbara Ann Ward born 1836
    Edith Caroline Louisa Ward born 1842
    Evelyn Harriet Elizabeth Ward born 1847

    Anc says it's Tunbridge Wells, household schedule 168, piece 492, folio 58, page 31. All 4 of them are there.

    HoH is Maria Cole, 45, (but she's in sched no 166 so may be an Anc-ism), lodging house keeper. Oddly, Harriet is shown as a lodger and the other 3 as "daur". It is obviously not intended to mean that they're Maria's, but that might be what's confusing the FMP system.

    I think you might be confusing me with someone else

    FMP had them down as the WARK family (which, to be honest, is what it looks like)
