I'm guessing that Slowhands is right, as usual, in this instance but I've discovered misspellings can play a role in missing ancestors as well. The last name "James" in my line has been recorded as "Jones" in more than one place, and my great Aunt, whose name was Bessie or Elizabeth on other documents shows up as "Lessia" in a couple of places. Her son, William is listed as "Cam" because that is what "Wm" looked like to the trancriptionist.

So try to be as non specific as you can be in your text search. Also try looking in the wills or probate index. You might be more successful there.

Happy hunting.
