Longhope Manor House, 1911 Census (General)

Hi all,
please can someone help me ?.

I've been browsing the 1911 Census via the Ancestry website and have been trying to find the complete household at the Manor House, Longhope.
However it looks like Ancestry may have mislaid/misfiled a page or two of the relevant Census forms; I've found one page of their Census which includes 3 members of the staff including a Priscilla Brock, cook, born Hereford abt 1889. This form image clearly states the address is Manor House, Longhope, with 15 rooms.

I hope this link to her works, I'd be gratefull if anyone can please confirm if it does or doesn't, thanks.

However the Ancestry transcript incorrectly shows these three young ladies as part of the Bessant household, which is actually at the nearby Nags Head Inn.

Re the actual image of the above Manor House staff Census form, the previous image is indeed that of the Nags Head and doesn't include Ms Brock etc.
The subsequent image page is the Coverpage for the Manor House Census. This shows the head to be Mrs Jones-Williams, who I know unveiled the village WW1 Memorial in 1928 so may well have been at the Manor House ?.

I've also visited the excellent Longhope Village website but their Census transcript only echoes the above. Does this mean that Ancestry has made an error, or is this an example of the Census form being lost for good so not on any website ?.

I'd be gratefull if a subscriber of another Census website such as FindMyPast could please try searching out the above characters, or better still find them on Ancestry. Many thanks.

For those interested, although the Manor of Hope, later Long Hope, dates from Domesday times, the current Manor House is a much later Georgian building.

PS. From this site's PRs I find this Burial occurred just before the 1911 Census was taken, perhaps Frederick had been the Head of the Household before his early passing ?.
