How do I convert this from ancestry index into the right information for a search on Scotland's people?

Parish: Dundee; ED: 8; Page: 3; Line: 12; Roll CSSCT1861_38; Year: 1861.

I've tried searching under their names at they don't seem to be on the index

Okay - found them mistranscribed.

STill can't work out how ancestry info converts though

I don't think it does; I seem to remember when I was trying to use the info from ancestry to get to the right page on Scotland's People I had to note down the names of all the people that ancestry listed on the page and try each one on SP until I found one who was listed (and who had an unusual enough name for me to be sure it was the right person!)
