Missing Page in Family Search 1860 Census (available on ancestry.com)
The following USA 1860 census page is missing in the familysearch but available in ancestry.com:
It should be the first page (labelled 40) for Delavan in Walworth County, Wisconsin, but it is missing (see the following link):
The first census page that appears in the familysearch link above is page 41.
My great great great uncle Sibley Brown is in row 11 on the missing page (age 20) shortly before volunteering to serve in the civil war. He died in the civil war and this is one of the few records of his life. Can you bring this missing page into the 1860 census? His parents and sisters appear on page 41 which is not missing in the familysearch records. He was working as a laborer in a nearby farm in the 1860 census. Thanks for considering my request!

@AnonymousDean : You can use (RecordSeek) to attach a source to (FamilySearch) from (Ancestry)

@AnonymousDean If you open this film in Images the missing pages are shown. Images retrieves from a different storage platform and it seems the index is missing, but you can attach with "Save Record".

@Quint Hurst thanks for your suggestion. In this case the ancestry record is already attached, but I wanted to add a direct link.
@SerraNola thanks very much for finding the image and for your suggestion! I have linked the image you found as you suggested.
How did you browse the images to find that? When I go the 1860 census via the link below, it only has images organized by geographic unit:

Also, is there any way to request that the image be indexed? Thanks again for your help.

@AnonymousDean I found it by getting the film number from the catalog, then searching by the film number in Images (Search drop down menu).
The Wisconsin 1860 Census was filmed twice because of poor images and only one was indexed. For now both are available in the catalog: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/koha:708785?availability=Family%20History%20Library
Read the notes for more information as to why it's probably not practical to re-index.
