Page numbers not displayed when a schedule covers more than one page in the census #1869

Description

@geoffj-FUG

This is the result of a researcher query.
Margaret Singleton investigated the issue and reported:
The problem is not with the data but with the fact that FreeCEN 2 does not display page numbers for the individual entries only for the household as a whole in the header so only the first page of a household is displayed. As FreeCEN 1 is not now available to search online I can't supply a screen shot to illustrate what I mean but maybe you still have access to it which would make it more obvious what I mean. I have checked the data and the servants are on page 4. If you click next household the page is 4 for the next family which is the same page for the servants. This is a general problem/feature not just for this entry.

Peter Cook, the researcher, advised:
Margaret has it in a nutshell, and as she concludes, it is not an isolated occurence.
Following your message, I have been digging into some of my back-up disks, and found the relevant FreeCEN 1 image in this case (attached below).
Regards Peter

The FreeCEN1 result shows the page number in the results. FreeCEN2 does not do this, hence the report. It appears that we are not meeting researcher expectations. I have a copy that I can send by email.

What is the effort required to display all page numbers covered by the schedule in the summary at the top of the results screen?
