	Yes Im afraid you do have to pay to view the actual census page, and the addresses are shown on the bottom of the actual census form. This is why when people ask for 1911 look ups, people do advise its costly to view

Unfortunately the details about live births and surviving children is only on the images not the transcripts. Looks like we have to open BOTH versions to get the required info. I suppose this would work out pretty costly on a pay per view basis!

When I download images from FMP , the file names include a reference, eg -RG14-00-4-25-00425-0051-03. Is that the unique original reference for that particular page or is it a reference assigned to the download by FMP?
