Any knowledgeable facebook users able to advise me?

I can't get a reply in the Social Media subforum (or on reddit)

Maybe someone could look at my post and perhaps help me out?

Are logged in with the same FB account that you used to create the page?

Perhaps downloading your data would also download the messages from the subpage you created?

Yes.

Is that a simple process?Can I search how to do it?Can I just navigate to it on my facebook page?

Edit:I found it easily explained by searching :facebook "download data"

I will give it a go and see if they are still there ...

No ,they aren't there. I don't even see the headers .The messages on the main page came through but nothing about the message headers on the subpage I created (many years ago -maybe 10 years ago)

I suspect those messages may have come before Messenger was rolled out (but I am no expert and I don't think there is any date on the messages.I do know who sent them but I don't want to ask them about it)

Can I ask someone in Facebook to find the details for me or is this as far as I can go?

You can definitely ask, it's likely the messages are in some database somewhere that they'll need to query manually
