Don,
Have you tried doing a page by page search of the 2 counties you are looking
in? I had a similar problem with one of my folks, I knew they had to be
there, but Ancestry couldn't find them. So I did a line by line, page by
page and sure enough there they were. It was tedious and time consuming but
I found them and that was all that was important.
