Well well.... after much messing about I find the solution! You cannot do it from the original search Census and Land Surveys which is the first option you get when you go to search records. You have to go to the separate Record Sets and type in 1911 Census. How come the option of address wasn't offered by FMP IT people after you type 1911 in the required box on CENSUS AND LAND SURVEYS? Should have been that easy. Grrrr. Cheers Graham

Addresses aren't on all the census type datasets, so the option's not there. You need to pick up the individual specific form obtained (e.g.) via the A-Z list to use dataset-specific parameters. I think, e.g., the most powerful search criteria for BMDs can only be accessed via the A-Z list (or equivalent - there are other ways of getting there). I have raised a feedback saying that this is obscure and that people looking for specific census search criteria are going to go down the Census menu option because that's the obvious one, whereas you actually have to take the obscure A-Z option.

I also raised it on their Facebook page and got the format reply that it works off the CENSUS AND LAND SURVEYS, but it doesn't. You have to go to the A-Z option as you state. Well, at least they are aware now. Cheers Graham
