Hi Bob and Celia

Glad you got results Celia, know what you maen about the budget. Unfortunately my Ancestry expired over xmas and haven't been able to renew as yet, although they have offered my 20% discount, so very tempted to go for it. Not sure which to go for though, thought I may just do the essentials package that just gives census and BMD, I've not really used the parish records on there so don't know if they are worth extra to upgrade to Premium membership, or are they just what is on IGI. Maybe someone can put me right :)

Bob...'Await Ancestry's acquisition with deep pockets and short arms.' You're from the same gene pool as me then! -; I've got the pockets and arms too -;
I heard on another board that there are no plans for Ancestry to have the 1911, so it may be a long wait.

I totally understand that it costs them to digitize etc so I fully understand the fees being necessary, but it's so frustrating when you can see people on there and can't get to view because of the cost! There's also a little mystery I would like to solve. Trouble is that when you view you will then be faced with more questions so will then want to view more. I know a number of people not viewing because of the cost. I wonder if they lowered the fee more would use it and they would be better off in the long term maybe?

Good Luck everyone anyway.
