1841 Ancestors not showing up via the Beta check it button

    I'm needing a bit of help / advice on why one of my 1841 Ancestor entries in the My Ancestors isn't showing up on Find My Past via the "check it" icon.

    Barnes, Edward
    1781 - - - [​IMG] 753/19/6/6 England & Wales 1841 88 [​IMG]
    Barnes, Ann
    1781 - - - [​IMG] 753/19/6/6 England & Wales 1841 89 [​IMG]

    I know the button works, I've checked it with other 1841 census entries I have, so it can't be because I don't have a subscription to FMP. Details for all my ancestors has had to come from Ancestry since that's where I have a sub.
    Could someone please take a sneaky peak and tell me what I may have mis-entered in this entry to cause it not to find itself when checked?
    Thanks

    In FMP it's been recorded as 753/20/6/6

    But 19 is correct when you look at the image.

    I've reported it at FMP for you.

    Tim, it's debatable which is right - I've emailed TNA for a definitive answer. If you take another look you'll see that there seem to be two books numbered 19, then the next one is 21, so there was probably an error when the books were microfilmed. So Findmypast may be right - we'll have to see.

    But I've suggested that for now PK-KTK uses the Ancestry numbers since that's what the microfilm shows.

    I've had a preliminary response from TNA - they are definitely going to look into it. Pretty good service, eh!

    Another family not matching between Ancestry and Find My Past

    Fox, Henry
    1804 - - - [​IMG] 782/8/6/7 England & Wales 1841 46
    Fox, Ann
    1806 - - - [​IMG] 782/8/6/7 England & Wales 1841 47
    Fox, Harriet
    1839 - - - [​IMG] 782/8/6/7 England & Wales 1841 23


    Ancestry gives the transcription of

    Name: Henry Fox
    Age: 37
    Estimated Birth Year: abt 1804
    Gender: Male
    Where born: Norfolk, England
    Civil Parish: Heacham
    Hundred: Smithdon
    County/Island: Norfolk
    Country: England
    Street address:

    Occupation:
    [​IMG]
    View image
    Registration district: Docking
    Sub-registration district: Snettisham
    Neighbors: View others on page
    Piece: 782
    Book: 8
    Folio: 6
    Page Number: 7
    Household Members:
    Name Age
    Henry Fox 37
    Ann Fox 35
    Harriet Fox 2


    While Find My Past says that reference belongs to Docking Union Hunstanton Norfolk

    I can find that Henry Fox does show up in Heacham on FMP, but with no sub, I can't check what FMP says the reference is
    Henry Fox 1804 Norfolk Docking Union Heacham Norfolk

    Pretty please, can someone check this one for me?
    Thanks heaps!
