anyone finding difficulty loading the original image mine seems to have areas of the image that are blurry and I cannot save the file onto my pc as when I open it its blank also not letting me print the record, what a waste of money if you cant view/save or print it ?

Yes I said as much a few posts back, the image is blurry and doesn't load correctly and like you I can't save it as Windows throws up an error.

I have found a way to get the image to save.

Go back to the Findmypage homepage and select the "My Records" option, find your record and select the camera icon as it should now offer to save the image for you, which after it has saved you should now have a good image.

Glenshiel Road, Eltham seems to be missing.

I know the names of three people living in the same house there and I can find them by name, obviously together and under Borough - Woolwich:  County - London but when searching for the address to check the house number I can't see Glenshiel Road.

I am surprised at the information some people gave.  I have one woman using the forename she 'adopted', completely different from her real name, she has given as her surname that of the man she lived with but was not married to and her age is 10 years out (younger of course!)  So her identity card would have been pure fiction!

I should have said that Glenshiel Road is missing from the list of roads in Woowich, London.  It has obviously been transcribed as these people were living there.

I have found that they have wrongly transcribed the birth year of someone who was born in 1916 as 1885 so they are showing even though they would "only" be 99....

If this happens to someone who is still alive then FindMyPast are in trouble

I have given up for now.

Hhmmm think I'll wait until the glitches have been sorted out.  I have no urgency anyway.

I have just edited my post above as I have found a way round it.

Not sure if this has been answered anywhere, but when you unlock the record, does it give the name of all in the household but not information on those redacted? Or does it just say "3 more who are officially closed"?

I've found an uncle and the preview of the record gives his name and says 2 locked and one officially closed. I know one of the locked will be his wife, but if the officially closed person isn't named, how will I know who they are so I can prove they are dead?

I got 2 households for the price of one, (on original document)  as my great grandparents lived next door to my grandparents, which was a great bonus!

My great grandparents lived next door to my grandparents so I'm thinking I might get two in one there.
