I've gone back to 1805 using census records and a relative has gone back to the middle of the 17th century having started using the census entries. Apparently, there is some issue with following the trail where individuals were non conformists, but I've not been able to establish what the issue is though.Comment

Possibly, but then one of my daughters who has broadband and lives in the same town as I do, did receive a paper copy, whereas my other two daughters, who also live in the same town as me and have broadband, didn't receive a paper copy. I didn't receive a paper copy either.
So if only 45% of the people in an area have broadband, regardless of whether you are in the 45% or not, it is cheaper for the census people to just give every household in that area a paper copy of the census rather than dealing with individual households.
However if you are in an area with 85% of the households have broadband, then if you are one who doesn't have it, it is cheaper for the census people to only give you a paper copy if you ring them up and ask for one.

Agreed, although I've gone back to 1695 on my wife's side without the use of the census. However that was relatively straightforward, as we have family records dating from the 1750's. She may be related to the actor John Simm and the Lever (soap) family.

So you have a lot more aunts and uncles than you thought.
OR
He was a massive criminal and changed his name so he couldn't be traced.
