You could probably narrow the candidate addresses from the 1911 census.

It's not all access, it's world membership.
No military, no newspapers . Not worth it.

so elaborate a liitle, when & where DID you see them?
Where were they and with whom when last seen?
you say early 1800s, so before or after civil registration?

The Common Room / Re: Adoption and Original birth certificate
« on: Tuesday 05 August 25 13:52 BST (UK) »
I think you would be better off just relating the information as you have it.
add in the 1939 register details too. The gentleman is long gone.
Was it a formal adoption? Is there a certificate in the adoptive name?

The Common Room / Re: Ancestry hint.
« on: Saturday 02 August 25 09:30 BST (UK) »
My input would be thet you have to think of it as not so much as Ancestry finding a hint, it's simply passing on a hint/ record that some other researcher has found.
So that could be a (wrong) birth registration for a woman in her later married name rather than maiden name being accepted and propagated, OR the initial researcher initially knew something which the later researcher didn't, or used a site other than ancestry to find it, then added it to their ancestry tree.
What I see is I add a name (with skeleton dates/place) and get no hints. Then add a baptism or somesuch. Ancestry then presents a whole slew of hints for that person, presumably based solely on the fact that the baptism that I attached was attached to someone else who also had all these other records attached.
There's no wisdom to it at all.

The Common Room / Re: Any Find my Past offers?
« on: Sunday 20 July 25 17:56 BST (UK) »
They have sent me a very good offer to renew after a 6 month absence.
Not a general public offer though.
Im really getting ticked off, having paid Ancestry worldwide, and not getting newspapers nor military. FindMyPast is SO much better in that it's included
