The new Findmypast (Part 1)

Kay,
Yes you can. The individual search forms for each year are available under the 'search all records' from the Search Record Tab.
It is not available under the general search all censuses form, where the search selections are  limited to where, other household member and address.

Brilliant!  Many thanks.  I only moved across on Friday and it takes a bit of getting used to!

Hi All,
I logged on today to find that I have been 'shifted' to the new format. I wanted to search  the census records and found that not only did I not like the new format (bad luck for me), but after searching for my person and selecting the correct one from the list presented, I could no longer view the transcript for the household. I can only view the transcript for the person I selected. Does anyone know if the transcript for the household is still available?

In addition, because my person could not be found in the 1891 census, I tried to search for the 1881 address in 1891 (something I could do on the old format) to see who was living there and whether it was my person. However, that facility also seems to have been removed as I could not do it. There is a box for an address but I think that is assuming you have already entered a name but if I tried to search the address without a name, I couldn't get it to work.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but on face value, the 'improvements' they have made to this site seem to have removed some of the features I used. I think Ancestry may well profit from FindMyPast's improvements.

Regards Eliza.

Every day I log on with bated breath to see if I've been changed over. I'm trying to be as good and as polite as I can and so far it is working - I'm still on the old site.

Do they let you know by e-mail that you are being switched, or do they just do it?

Same here!!

I now find I cannot access the new FindMyPast at all. It seems it won't work with my Internet Explorer set-up. I have emailed FindMyPast asking for refund and NOT to auto-renew ( cannot now sign in to cancel this myself!!) but they havent responded.
 What an appalling con trick.

Same thing happened with me, Jan. One day it was the old system, then suddenly it was the new set up.
