No replies to my query below yet, so here's a bit more information in case that inspires a response.
In relation to point 2, I've inspected the .ged file that I imported, and just don't understand why this happened. This event imported with the address intact: 1 DEAT 2 DATE 22 FEB 1952 2 PLAC Harrogate, WRY 2 ADDR Alexandra Nursing Home 2 SOUR @S171@ 3 _TMPLT 4 FIELD 5 NAME Page but with this one the address went into the list as "n/a - 41 Carey Street": 1 CENS 2 DATE 6 APR 1891 2 PLAC Middlesbrough, NRY 2 ADDR 41 Carey Street 2 NOTE Age 7, born Middlesbrough; Scholar. 2 SOUR @S12@ 3 PAGE RG12/4014 fo27 p5 3 _TMPLT 4 FIELD 5 NAME Page 5 VALUE RG12/4014 fo27 p5 Any thoughts welcome - and also on points 1 and 3 of my original query.
