How did you find it so fast, considering the target wasn't a HoH?

I did a search for Creel Hale in Tn, Bledsoe county, and the image appeared.
:-)

The census index is by 'every name'.

The problem that one might face is that of the transcriber misreading the hand
written name. Then one has to try variations. This one was 'on the money'.

Yup, Check out the banner on the 1920 census page.

"Ancestry.com has tripled the index to include every available name."

That explains a lot. I don't think HQ has done that. HQ is where I hang most
because I have to physically go to the library to use Ancestry.

and it takes practice
one of the reasons many of us volunteers do look ups is to hone our own
skills

using a wild card * after a birthplace
Raglan* enabled me to find my own g grandfather Edward Jones from
Wales in Cheltenham England after several years searching in vain

and on sgb a missing relative listed in an english will has been found
in the Canadian census

yesterday Ancestry.co.uk have uploaded two transcriptions without images
1851 Scotland census

Raglan, Lanarkshire Ragland, Lanarkshire
I also see Ruglen in the civil parish of Rutherglen on the same page

look like typos to me (I was looking for Raglan* MON strays)
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=1076


1861 Scotland census
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=1080

my lot My great grand uncle
Name: Robert Thos Lapham
Age: 18 <<< 33? can anyone check this age please?

seems much too young
(just examples of traps in transcriptions)

I have his birth 7 April 1828 in Bath, Somerset England

I spent most of the night identifying one stray Richard Lapham in 1861
Scotland for my LAPHAM one-name study

it is the thrill of the hunter too
