The Common Room / Re: Ancestry Member Search problem
« on: Friday 26 September 25 11:34 BST (UK)  »
Thanks so much. Yes, it is working again. It is so interesting that I was told by not one but two different people at the company that it was working fine previously! I am happy that it is working again and thanks for checking today!

I had another chat with Ancestry and they said Members Search using "real time indexing" and fuzzy matching but would not say when the change was made but recently. I should be able to find my person using their display name. I cannot but I will leave it at that.

Thanks for trying it Alan b and confirming what I see.  It makes me wonder if Ancestry is updating something in Member search in the background.

The Common Room / Ancestry Member Search problem
« on: Tuesday 23 September 25 19:30 BST (UK)  »
Sorry if this is not the place to post this issue. I contacted Ancestry about the problem without success (on the phone where the person told me I was incorrect and using Leif). I have a cousin in a different country is also experiencing the same thing (she is the one that noticed).

Normally I can log into Ancestry and search members by typing in their name as described below often finding many pages of members.

On the Home page I go across to Search and select Member Search from the list, enter a first name space and a last name (or just the last name) and depending on the name get several pages of results to go through.

Today, whatever I search (e.g. John Smith, or just Smith, Davis, Templeton) it looks like I only get the first 20 results when, depending on the search, there should be many more.

I have cleared my cache, logged out and logged back in and totally shut down my computer.

Is this happening to anyone else or does anyone know how to get an issue looked at using technical support other than what I tried? Thanks for any suggestions.

Surrey / St John Vaults reference in burial
« on: Friday 30 May 25 16:19 BST (UK)  »
I found the reference below and am wondering if St John's Vaults is an actual location or if it just refers to where Mary was buried (it is in the abode column just above Waterloo Road)?

Mary   Lambert d age 26 buried December 1853 St John the Evangelist, Waterloo
Residence   St John's Vaults, Waterloo Road
Residence county   Surrey

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: Lavenham marriage 1831 witnesses
« on: Wednesday 18 September 24 12:46 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for looking amondg! Yes, all of Anne's children (there were eight) with William King, a tailor, were illegitimate. I was hoping to find witnesses to Elizabeth and Smith's marriage to see if one of them (or both) might be family members. I know the marriage is too early to request a copy from the GRO and it seemed the only way to view a marriage record in the parish registers that included witnesses from Lavenham was to go visit a Suffolk Archives branch (or Records Office). I do have the CDs from Suffolk Family History which have been very helpful but the witnesses are not included. I just found this thread so maybe I just need to be patient until this project has been completed: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=689451.0
I don't know why I didn't find this thread yesterday.
