<<snipped>> I now want to check the image on FMP but cannot find him. My next step was to do a search using the census reference but, unless I am being a bit dense, there is no way of doing this on FMP. <<snipped>> It's well hidden. (Pause for moan - FMP's User Interface design can be appalling - this isn't the first link that has been disguised as text...) Go to the basic (or advanced) Person search. There are something like 5 lines for input (on the basic search), then the "Less is more!" warning with the Search button below that. (Yes, Mr FMP designer, your Search button is off the bottom of my screen...) About level with the bottom of the 5th input line (saying "Sort results by:"), look to the right and then immediately to the left of the pale green stack of links to other searches, is the text "census reference search". Small font, of course because why should a third search option be given any major visibility? There is another way there - the overall screen "Census, land & survey records" has the link in the paragraph "If you have precise references for the page you want to view, you can go directly to that page with our census reference search." But again it looks no more significant than a "Here's some jolly background info" link. Adrian B
