Post by: spendlove on Tuesday 15 April 25 16:17 BST (UK)

Hi,

A recently added item on the 9th April is. UK WW1 Hospital Registers 1915 - 1919, however when  I click on this get message “This item is no longer available”

Just wondered if everyone is getting same message?

It is showing as New if I go to the new and updated registers but it also gives page to found.

Suspect they have withdrawn it due to bugs.

Suggest trying again in a few days.

These records are now available but you need a Fold3 sub to view the original image.

Hi,

Thanks to everyone.

Getting very fed up with Ancestry requiring further payment to view records.

Yes, I'm getting fed up with it too.  Every now and then Fold3 have free access, but I always forget which of their records a wanted to look at  ::).  I must start making a note.

I save them to the shoebox ready for the free days. I don't have much success with Fold3 so it's not worth paying extra subs.

You'll be upset to see that Ancestry have instigated another Fold3 set :

UK, Recommendations for Honours and Awards - 1939-1943
