I have purchased three original pages of the 1921 census that apply to my grandparents and am surprised that they do not seem to display a place of residence. This was one of the reasons that I subscribed in the first place. Previous censuses had their addresses in the first column. Am I missing something?

Addresses are on a separate page.  If you go into your search results (no extra charge) then you will see under the image "Extra Materials" and if you click on that you can see a number of options - click on "Front" and that will give you the address.  A double-sided form  :-*
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

I think I am well on the way to cracking a long standing DNA puzzle as a result of one image I have downloaded. Another obviously relates to an institution, as the person I am interested in is described as a patient, and there are other patients and inmates on the page BUT the schedule/front page address field is completely blank.

I have emailed FindMyPast to ask if they can help with the address, as I don't want to speculatively search through other images in the same piece at £3.15 a time. Is anyone aware of another way around this?

This might help!

Anyone know if there were "missing " books at all. I've exhausted all variations of everything and anything , names, years, street addresses wildcards etc etc.......... for a family of 5. I'm beginning to wonder if there are pieces missing. I considered the possibility of maybe one being one of the initialed individuals in an institution, but the family were all young adults with parents, father involved in engineering for a small firm (tried searching or occupations and variations of too), so I can't see them all being in a workhouse or similar, since at least 2 were married a couple of year the census and everything seemed hunky dory on their wedding cert and photos.

I found all others, including Welsh ones, which had their names transcribed incorrectly. I even found a an un-named baby that the parents had entered as a boy when in fact it was a girl. So I can't understand where my family of 5 are.

I  have to agree Gadget that the information on the 1921 is not as good as the 1911.  No indication of children born, living or died and no address section.

Address section is on the front page - you can find it in extra materials.  I've added the screenshot here as well :)
