Hi Elberta,
First happy that you have found great results with ancestry........You need to look at the top of the pages for a page number on the census as the stamped or handwritten numbers often do not match the ones on ancestry........when you open the census look at the number at the top of the right hand page and each page can have a 294 A-B-C-D pages for that number... the one that you were looking for is on page 27 of the ancestry census
Yes they usually notify you before renewing your subscription either by email ....snail mail or phone....I have belonged for five years and they have always done this.
Good luck with your research
