As noted on the other thread - the reference is still available via the URL

As noted on the other thread - the reference is still available via the URL 

If you refresh the page it very briefly appears then disappears.  If you hover on the "unlock this household" it appears at the bottom left on my screen (Win 8.1 laptop) but it disappears when I try to copy it.  The only option it seems is to write the reference down 



Could not work out which numbers last night among all the other symbols, but yes, thank you that does seem to work. 
I will be interesting to see what FindMyPast's reply to my question is as to why they've taken it off though

I doubt they'll say " we have realised that we just won't earn enough money if none of you pay £6-95 to see your families"

You need these 2 bits of info from the browser bar (if it's visible, ie it's not on my ipad).....

I'm glad I got what I needed before they removed the reference, as I would never have found my great great grandfather. His first name was listed as '~?' when it clearly read 'Wm. Jn.' on the image. Using the ref was the only way I could be sure I had the right record before using my credits.
Anyone would have thought they want us to make mistakes and use more credits!

Am I going senile?  Searched the index, clicked on name got the preview, where has the folio and piece number gone ? 

I've just noticed that too!  They must have rumbled us and removed it.  If you refresh the page it very briefly appears then disappears.  If you hover on the "unlock this household" it appears at the bottom left on my screen (Win 8.1 laptop) but it disappears when I try to copy it.  The only option it seems is to write the reference down

Yes the ref has gone from the preview screen.... however as said above if you hover over 'Unlock this record" on Preview screen, or over 'Preview' on search list the info appears in bottom left hand corner, using a desk top with widows 7,  see the attached the TNA ref for this example is 1959f / 018.

Has something else changing as you can now get this on basic search result for a household:

Marjorie J    Fisk (Hazlewood)    1
Frederick W Hazlewood and 2 more people are on this record

It didn't used to give another name on the searches I have been doing.

Ooooo girlywhirl, anyone would think you were being cynical

I am glad the site has coped with the overload of people searching, seems they know how to handle that now. I have found out many DOB's of ancestor siblings, even if I have to search by month, then day, I always quickly note down the quarter their birth was registered. Saves me buying more certs.
