Trial balance different to Nominals

My trial balance figures for certain nominal codes are different to the nominal activity. For example;

Debtors on the trial balance is showing as £234,415.67

however the nominal activity is showing the balance as £143,171.46. 

Looking into a detailed nominal activity, the history balance is £234,415.67.

Why are they not matching? How do I get them to pick up the same figures?

This has happened for about 50% of the nominals too.
