Hi there,

I have an ancestor who is in every census he was alive for except the 1871 census.

Here's the 1861 - http://goo.gl/GspmNo
Here's the 1881 - http://goo.gl/1nrtC6

I've tried lots of different permutations and combinations of details, but can't find him on ancestry.com's 1871. But using another website I can find him in the 1871 census, so I'm just wondering what the reason might be? http://goo.gl/mD6tne

I hope those links work - In case they don't the ancestor in question is Henry Ellis. Born circa 1842 in Lambeth, Surrey. Son of Charles Ellis, born circa 1812 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, and Ann Ellis. If there's anything else I need to provide just ask.

Many thanks for your help.
