Anyone know where the useful list of "known issues" in censuses (i.e. which geographical areas suffer from missing coverage in each census) has gone - formerly in the Knowledge Base?

Caithness: MacGregor
Essex: Eldred (Pebmarsh)
Gloucs: Timbrell (Winchcomb)
Hants: Stares (Wickham)
Lincs: Maw, Jackson (Epworth, Belton)
London: Pierce
Suffolk: Markham (Framlingham)
Surrey: Gosling (Richmond)
Wilts: Matthews, Tarrant (Calne, Preshute)
Worcs: Milward (Redditch)
Yorks: Beaumont, Crook, Moore, Styring (Huddersfield); Middleton (Church Fenton); Exley, Gelder (High Hoyland); Barnes, Birchinall (Sheffield); Kenyon, Wood (Cumberworth/Denby Dale)

avm - does anyone, even FindMyPast, know where anything is on their new site.  Every time I've asked them where something is they tell me it's there but I need to use the new filters.  :o

Understood - just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious before I raised it with them (which I now have).

Hopefully they'll restore it.  If they don't then hopefully someone with the old search has taken notes ...  ;)

I tried googling it and it gave me a link for the old topic
www.findmypast.co.uk/help-and-advice/...base/census/known-issues‎
but the link just took me to the new FindMyPast home page. 
On another topic andycand has just given old links to parish register coverage and the same thing happened.

Unfortunately not - for those of us subject to the new regime it redirects to the new blank home page.

Hi
I seem to have the old site still  ;D

Is this what you mean?  Sticking Plumstead in the residential place box brings (Added: or perhaps I should say brought  ::) ) up all the streets etc in Plumstead:

Yes, that's exactly it.
I can't replicate it on the new site.
