1921 census

To return to the comments re cost.  As far as I recall there was no mention in the promotional material from FindMyPast that there would be a cost.  While it may seem expensive to some who are able to purchase GBP I live in South Africa and the rate of exchange is prohibitive.
At nearly 90 years of age I would dearly have liked to look for my parents, I've waited a long time and time is not on my side!!
Very disappointed

The cheapest way to pay in non-UK currency is likely to be PayPal.

That's my payment method for FindMyPast even though I'm in UK.

I am hit by the exchange rate as although I live in New Zealand I have to pay in $Aus. I was notified in November of an increase in exchange rate charges by my bank.
The banks make enough as it is.
I know there will be others hit by exchange rates thus putting the cost of One record out of reach.

My 1921s haven’t come through yet Carol
But a payment last week for a probate of £1.50  turned to $2.98 plus a 6 cent offshore service margin.
 (Just using my regular debit card)
(At least the exchange rate is in our favour at present.).

The exchange rate for UK/NZ is better than AU/NZ. I do agree it is a lot better than it was in October.
1921 should cost $7.01 plus offshore service if purchased through find my past au but have not brought any yet. Maybe later tonight as I only want 2 households at this stage.

Can you try logging into FindMyPast UK even though you are registered with Au?

Well, I paid for them - about 70 Rand.

Poor transcription, my father wrote copperplate, beautiful writing so no excuse for mistakes in transcription.

Compensation Clerk was transcribed as Corporation Clerk

The Cargo Fleet Iron Building was transcribed as The Cargo Iron Old

Mother's birth place transcribed as Guesbro instead of Guisborough (G'bro)

Person making return Mr Portcons instead of Mr Porteous

Shocking!!

Never go for the transcription always the original image.  Why pay for someone's poor transcription if you can see for yourself what is written - and you don't need both.

I paid for 5 entries and saved them to my records, then saw that there were no addresses on them. I looked at this thread and found out how to view the address, but the Filmstrip, Extra Materials etc isn’t there. It was there when I first bought the entries but isn’t on them in My Records. Any ideas on how to find it would be very welcome!
