The reason you can’t find your ancestor in the census index may be because the original is difficult to read or the “entry of interest” is hiding in a faded corner. A manual search may be helpful, but only if your interpretation and reading skills are better that those of the person making the image.

Sigh…….so many pages like that. Eye strain to the nth degree.
This is very true. In the record that was used for the illustration, I’m thinking the ancestor may have been overlooked. But…it’s hard to tell with those darkened corners.
