I tried it at the Beta session as I had my father with me and his family would be on there (he is 93, his father died when he was 2) I managed to find the entry and bought the page as it was the first time my father would have seen his father's signature BUT my grandmother who was on the page is not indexed at all.
I also managed to get my father's grandfather's sheet and I considered it worth it for my father, but it is way too expensive - I tried to find my Grandfather Thomas david Smith born 1889 and he would have been a police man in London - There were too many - 5 Pages - there is no way I am paying abt £100 looking at all the transcripts in the hope of finding him!

When Gloucestershire came on I too could not find one of my forest ancestors.

If there was a field to search on place of birth it would be simpler.
