Drouin Records for Chelmsford on Ancestry

Drouin Records for Chelmsford on Ancestry

Does anyone know why the Drouin records for some parishes are incomplete? For example St Joseph's in Chelmsford, Ontario 1901 - 1927 has only two pages of records, 1917 - 1952 has only two pages of records. I know that more records were microfilmed, familysearch.org has records to 1909 and I have paid for some later images from the AFGS.
I have asked this question repeatedly and not got an answer from Ancestry.I asked an Ancestry representative at the OGS conference last year and she did not get back to me.
I believe that Drouin Institute now has a subscription service to view images but I am already paying for an Ancestry world subscription that is supposed to enable this.

Note the last line (rorm Ancestry)

The entire Drouin Collection contains vital, notarial, and other miscellaneous records from Quebec, as well as French Catholic parish records from Ontario, Acadia, and the U.S. This database only contains the French Catholic parish records from Ontario.


so if it is an English Catholic Church would not be included.
