It is really frustrating but I found if I 'switched back to the old experience' and did a general search the Scottish data comes up. But if you want a specific census you get nothing!!!

Hi Lesley,

I also got no results for my searches in the Scottish censuses on Ancestry this weekend. I had put it down to the usual transcription errors and went and found them on ScotlandsPeople.

All the best,

Hi Lesley - it's not just you , it's not working properly for me either. If I try to search 1851 Scotland census for example , it seems there were no people in Scotland at all !
If I just do a general search , I get some hits from 1851 census , but I can't get too far like that ....

I posted about this on the other Ancestry thread.....I search using the 'old' way all the time, and it hasn't worked for me for a couple of days now. Also I noticed that some outside links to message boards at Ancestry aren't working either (gives "0 Messages" ). I hope it has something to do with their changes BUT I hope they don't change the way we search to the "new" way because I really dislike it.

the new way on ancestry

Yes must admit I don't like it either it keeps popping up suggestions and annoys me as I know what I want and the non relevant suggestions will most likely cause all sorts of problems with folk new to genealogy regards lesley
