It looks to me as though FindMyPast have removed the TNA reference number from the preview results

So RootsChat strikes again - and the "big guns" retaliate  :o :o

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

They have changed something else here though as the free basic search is now showing who else is in the household, so instead of saying "2 other more people are on this record" it is now providing the names of one other person that is there which is a help.
Bloomfield, Knights, Whitmore, Warner (Suffolk)
Hamlin (London, Yorkshire, Scotland, Suffolk)
Mattocks, Newick, Nutter, (Kent)
Mattocks (Staffs)
