    .

    As far as I am aware, 'FamilySearch' has NOT "Sold" the "1881, Census of England and Wales" to "www.FindMyPast.co.uk" [ www.FindMyPast.com ].

    .

    And, 'Yes', the other 'On-Line' Commercial PAID (ie. "Subscription") Websites DO have the Census of not only England and Wales; but, of many other Countries as well.

    .

    Please explain why you think 'FamilySearch' has NOT "Sold" the "1881, Census of England and Wales" to "www.FindMyPast.co.uk" [ www.FindMyPast.com ].

    .

    Here is an "Article" in the 'FamilySearch' "Wiki":

    .

    https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/England_and_Wales_Census,_1881_-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records

    .

    There were a number of DIFFERENT "Indexings" of that Census; and, some of those "Indexings" have been "Retired" from 'FamilySearch'; despite, the fact that, in many cases, they are ALREADY "Attached" to individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    Are the "Retired" Records (ie. "Sources") to which you are referring?

    .

    IF, so; THEN, here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

    .

    What is a retired record?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/what-is-a-retired-record

    .

    Otherwise, here is another "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

    .

    Why did some historical records disappear from FamilySearch?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/why-have-some-historical-records-disappeared-from-familysearch

    .

    Let us know the situation.

    Hello @BettyForrest1 BettyForrest1​ 

    I was able to find a search within England and Wales, Census 1881

    https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/2562194

     

    also there is this: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/England_and_Wales_Census,_1881_-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records
