The Common Room / Re: "Access the Birth, Marriage and Death Index for nothing"

I've only just found this thread ( late as always ) and must admit I hadn't even realised that the original images were available through ancestry.
Typically, I'm one of those who paid a one-off fee to 1837online just before Christmas for 3 years unlimited access to BMD records.
But given that, I still think I'm ahead. Many a time, I've found entries on 1837online that Ancestry seems to have cleverly hidden and from posts on here it seems that it's far from being as complete as 1837online even with it's occasional indexing problem. Searching is definitely quicker.
So, no complaint from me. Yet.
( Or maybe I'm just trying to justify the money spent
)
