Bug Report: Missing Images in Witton Parish Registers
This is a flag to report an error in the waypointed collection of the above item from Cheshire Parish Registers.
This collection shows only 544 images of the left hand side of the register. All right hand side page images are missing.
For details see the posting of May 8 in https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/449484#Comment_449484
Thankfully, @Julia Szent-Györgyi has identified a workaround by gaining access to the same registers through another route.
For anyone who is having difficulty trying to view the missing pages, then rather than following the link shown in research hints, I suggest starting a new advanced search using the film number and the person's name. The results will take you to the full set of 1200 images for Witton. e.g.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6SX9-MQM?i=2&cc=1614792
This is a very useful set of baptism records containing grandparents names.

As I wrote on the other thread, it's fine to follow the link shown in the research hint. There's no need to look it up by film number, as you can switch to the full film (which is not missing the right-hand pages) by clicking the little triangle after the collection name:
In the resulting little drop-down, choose the film number:
You'll be taken to a thumbnail view of the full film, with the image you were on highlighted, and its new number in the "Image X of" box. You can switch to the single-image view of the page by clicking the third button in the small toolbox at the top left.
The last screenshot is the same as the first, except for the addressing -- and the fact that clicking the > after the total image count will take you to the corresponding right-hand page, rather than to the next left-hand page. (Well, generally. Some of the pages were filmed twice, so you may get another shot of the same page you were just on. Just keep going one more page and you'll get your dates and grandparents.)

@Julia Szent-Györgyi Thanks for the clear walkthrough. I've just tried it from a clean start and it works just like you describe. Strangely it didn't the first time I tried it, but it did work after I'd clear the desk and started again. That's why I suggested using search by film number, because that method always presents the the full set of images.
