1911 census images for Wigpool, Mitcheldean. Missing? (General)
Hello. This is a request for help about finding some images for the 1911 census. I have done a search via "The Genealogist website" and "Ancestry website". The transcriptions are there but when I click "See image" a message appears saying: "Error: Image Missing". This appears to be happening with all persons with the address of Wigpool, Mitcheldean. Has anyone found these images? I am interested in seeing the images for 2 reasons. 1. to check the transcription and 2. to see how many years the people have been married and how many children born. I have sent a message to the websites but have not as yet heard back from them.
Addition:
Using The genealogist website clicking on see image says "Error: Image Missing".
Using Ancestry website clicking on see image opens an image of a completely different census entry, not the one for Wigpool.

I can call up Wigpool on Ancestry: Will give it a try, if I knew who you are looking for, and see if it works O.K. or not and cross-check the 1911 Summary Sheets.
Although, for example, when I call up William ASTON age 75, Wigpool, Mitcheldean, when I click on the image, I do get Amos Elton, Cinderford.
On the Summary Sheets - William ASTON (just 1 male) 'Wighool' is East Dean, District 01 No. 54 - but it seems to call up District 11.
However, by Clicking on
County: Gloucestershire
Civil Parish: East Dean
Enumeration District - 01
No. 54 on the Schedule, I can call up the census page for William Aston

Thank you m p griffiths.
Using your help I have found the image. It looks like Ancestry have indexed Wigpool as ED.11 and it should be ED.1

Glad to help. At least you can inform Ancestry now of their error.
The 1911 Census Summary Sheets can be a useful cross-checking system.

Hi David.
If you're researching anyone called Sterry and you haven't already found it, you can't do better than register (free) on www.sterryworldwide.com.
I'm a descendant of a Lydney Sterrey (as the spelling became in our case) and registered on that site. Just by way of example, by going onto it just now and searching under the Minsterworth, Ruardean and Longhope trees for your Owen, I immediately got this much, some of which mpg gave you:-
Born Jan 1876, Stenders, East Dean (source: 1881 census)
Baptised 27 Feb 1876 aged 57 days at Drybrook (source: Drybrook parish register)
Married 18 Jul 1896 to Harriett Morgan at Drybrook (source: FreeBMD, and sterryworldwide has some Morgan family details to boot)
Occupation in 1911: coal hewer (source: 1911 census)
Died 1937 and buried at Drybrook (source: Gloucestershire Index of Monumental Inscriptions)
If you're linked to the Longhope or Minsterworth line, we'll be related in some distant way. If you're linked to the Ruardean line, then you're linked to the world's oldest known line of Sterry.
