Sadly true. Yesterday I got on and found one great great grandfather being drunk and disorderly on numerous occasions, and violent on a couple, while another great grandfather was caught passing counterfeit coins (here's one I made earlier) in a pub! Unfortunately, this morning my quest for dodgy ancestors was brought to a halt. I have asked my library service (Buckinghamshire)to get a subscription, as they have for Times Digital Archive, DNB and other goodies, but I expect they will say it is too expensive. It is a fantastic resource though. I gather one can use it for free at the British Library, but you have to go there.
