There's something wrong there I think, there should be a Township before the ,Cook, Illinois. I tried to "Browse" but wouldn't be able to find it that way because there seems to be hundreds of Townships.
Although why on earth the two names aren't showing up I don't know.
Shame you can't scroll from house to house as you can with the 1881 census.

Thanks for looking Mary. I think Elizabeth might be one of my Grandad's aunts. One of the aunts, Mary Ann McMullen nee Holland, emigrated to Chicago, USA but she died young in 1919. Another aunt called Elizabeth went to the USA to visit or look after the children according to family folklore and I have records of her going to the USA in 1920 and 1924. We don't know if she stayed or returned to England.

I've checked it out at the library it's definitely a missing page there should be a sheet 25B in the 644 district of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois USA.

I've made some progress with this aunt of my Grandad, Elizabeth Holland. I'm still waiting for feedback from Ancestry about the missing 1930 census image but while I was on Family Search I found her death index. She died in Chicago in 1947 so the 1930 Census record must be the right Elizabeth Holland.
