I have just received an e-mail from Ancestry confirming that the 1851
census
for England & Wales is now "officially" available on line.
Hi Alwyn,
But is it 'officially' complete?
Here is a copy of a posting I made on the Ancestry board two weeks ago
when the 1851 census unofficially leaked out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1851 Census - Wales
PROBLEM 1 (WALES, DENBIGHSHIRE)
The civil parish listed as "Barsham", which contains only the Wrexham
Union Workhouse, should be BERSHAM (you already have Bersham parish listed).
PROBLEM 2 (WALES, DENBIGHSHIRE)
The township of Chidlow, should be in Malpas, Cheshire, England.
PROBLEM 3 (WALES, DENBIGHSHIRE)
The township of "Llangollen Abbots", should read "Llangollen Abbot".
PROBLEM 4 (WALES, DENBIGHSHIRE)
The township of Prestatyn, should be in Flintshire.
PROBLEM 5 (WALES, MERIONETHSHIRE)
The township of "Backe" (5e, 5f & 5g), should read BACHE and should be
in the parish of Llangollen in Denbighshire
PROBLEM 6 (WALES, MERIONETHSHIRE)
The township of "Trevor Isaf" (5a), should be in the parish of
Llangollen in Denbighshire
The township of "Trevor Uchaf" (5b & 5c), should be in the parish of
Llangollen in Denbighshire
PROBLEM 7 (WALES, FLINTSHIRE)
The township of "Loughton" (10a & 10b), should read "SOUGHTON"
PROBLEM 8 (WALES, DENBIGHSHIRE)
According to the National Archive Catalogue, in the 1851 census piece
"HO 107/2503 - Registration District: 611. WREXHAM, Registration
Sub-District: 3 Ruabon"
should be made up of the following districts:
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Erbistock
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Ruabon
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Rhyddallt
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Belan
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Bodylltyn
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Hafod
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Rhosllannerchrugog
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Morton Anglicorum
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Morton Above
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Morton Below
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Dynhynlle Issa
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Dynhynlle Ucha
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Rhosymedre
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Coed Christionydd
Ruabon ff.1-378 / Parish: Ruabon / Hamlet: Christionydd Kenrick
so far only the Moreton Above hamlet (folios 349 to 378) has appeared on
Ancestry. Where are the rest?

And what have Ancestry done about it? Nothing! All of the above errors
are still there >:o .
