Typical - the one "priority" relative I had for the 1921 census is nowhere to be found. She's definitely alive in 1921. She's not with her family, and she never married. She definitely remained in England.

UPDATE: Finally found her - visiting an unknown family the other side of the country! I wasn't sure it was her, until I saw her mother's Surrey address in the (Employer) Place of Work column! That detail confirmed it. But now I'm wondering what she was doing the other side of the country, given that she was in a 'vulnerable' condition. Hmm. Something for me to ponder tonight.  ???

Found my career military grandfather, too. Stationed in Wiltshire. So that was a big surprise.

The price is prohibitive. I purchased four transcripts and that is my lot until it opens up under a normal subscription.

I found out my great grandparents moved out of the family farm home I expected them to be (they presumably moved back) and were operating as green grocers! And my poor great great grandmother who I had bumped off in 1916 on my ancestry tree was in fact alive in 1921!

How fortunate I was to have had the 1920s Canadian census images for some years, showing both my grandparents on the paternal side tucked away safely there! Saved me a pointless search for them in Britain now!

I found from another thread that the address is the next image - and is available without extra payment.

I am awaiting a response from FindMyPast.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Go to "extra materials" in the film strip at the bottom of the page and choose "Front" that has the address. Cover has the parish extra.  This is the PC view I haven't used other devices yet.

Thanks for the help finding the address. I was expecting it to be as on the 1911 census so was horrified it wasn't there!

Good luck everyone finding your ancestors. And please stop complaining about the price. Read this thread. Anyone who is a 'proper' researcher (i.e. someone who researched in the 20th century) will know how cheap, easy and convenient online records are compared to the expense and hard work of travelling around the country and manually searching old archives. Be thankful and realise how lucky you are.
