I have a very large tree - but it's not my own, it's a one-place study. It's got nearly 50,000 people on it.

It's the result of 30 years research, and is as solid as it can be, to the highest standard possible. There are no hints from other Ancestry trees.

If you want to have a look, here's a local schoolmaster:

or maybe the bigamous workhouse matron:

Or the plumber who lived with someone for years, only for their lack of a marriage to be revealed when his "wife" died. Her death certificate gives her "married" name - but the vicar buried her under her maiden name!

You see all sorts doind a one-place study!

If you had relevant family, you would miss out if you ignored it. And yes, I do reply to messages!

It's not always easy to spot the highlighted items on the resulting image of the newspaper page but worth persevering. 

Sometimes you can find it on the next page, if it might be part of a long article like a court report. If it is on the next page, it won't be highlighted.

I think you are right about &c in image A.

Sometimes articles do come as pairs - like Lease and Release when selling land. They first created a short lease to put the buyer in possession, and then the seller releasing their remaining interest the next day, completing the sale. Bonkers way of doing things,  but it appears to use a loophole in the law to make things simpler!

Try these:
1. Clear cache and cookies.
2. Try opening the pages on tablet / phone / someone else's laptop - if you can, it's something on your laptop.
3. If you can't open them on your tablet / phone either, check your subscription. If you have the right current sub, ring Ancestry.  0800 7831340, if you're UK.
4. If it's just your laptop, if you have an adblocker, turn that off for Ancestry - it doesn't like them. Or try turning off something called hardware acceleration. Don't know where that will be in Chrome, I'm afraid, you'll have to google it.

Hope one of these will help!

Dell Support are excellent, helped me out of a hole several times. Which is one of the reasons I buy Dell.

I always buy it with their on-site support package. It costs, but is worth it. I've had Dell technicians here twice, replacing battery and touchpad, and watched them take over my screen remotely to run software repairs several times, including just this last Sunday.

I also have an on-line backup running (in addition to doing a manual back-up from time to time onto a memory stick), which backs up automatically every day. I have to pay for it, bacause it's backing up a lot of stuff, but again worth it. The only snag I've found is that Lloyds Bank refused to process the payments (in dollars), had to switch to Nationwide.  I can even access my files through their app on my iPad!
