Getting FPM at half price has been discussed here previously. No easy link as per Ancestry but they can be persuaded that 50% is better than nothing.

Not sure if that link will work to a previous chat.
PS I see it does.

No problem with my old iPad. Logged out of Ancestry and in again with no bother apart from the two factor authorisation which needed a code to be sent by email.

Took me a while to find it but looks like my router is also on mpa2. The router is newish from BT last year. My iMac is 9 years old. Other bits are newer.

Ignoring the Topic Diversion.
My devices are all connected to the router wirelessly; two computers, tablet and phone (all Apple) an I do not recall ever, at lest not recently, having to use a Capcha with Ancestry. Browsers I use are Safari, Brave and Opera.
As no one else on here has reported a similar issue then it is more likely some change in your set up than something Ancestry have done.
So have you recently added a new device to your household, cleared your cache, added a VPN?

You do not have to keep paying to Ancestry once you have set up an account with a small tree. If your brother or one of his children or grandchildren gets tested the match will be big and Ancestry does still flag up matches to people like me who no longer subscribe.
You will benefit from initially having an account and checking the trees (if any) of close matches. It took me 4 months to find a match which confirmed the father of my gran - a match to a 4th cousin or 5th in Canada.
As I do not pay a subscription at the moment I cannot view other people’s trees and only see two shared matches.

Some Anglican vicars carried on using Latin for a century or two after the Reformation but most did not. FindMyPast and Ancestry will both tend to recognise that the given name Guillielmus is the same as William so not usually an issue.
The Catholics I think do still carry on the practice of using Latin to show that they are educated above us hoy poloy.
If I remember right I actually located the marriage using the name Maria Tooly with variation of both given and surname.

You can see the church record of the marriage in FindMyPast and maybe in Ancestry if you use the latinised version of their names.
Mariam Annam TOOMEY married Jeremiam SULLIVAN on 18 Apr 1858 at St George’s Cathedral.
The father’s names are given. No occupations or abodes which you might get from the marriage certificate.
PS - search for the bride rather than the groom as Sullivans are common as muck.

Keep in mind that the OP Joes Soap was asking what happened to Louisa's parents after their marriage and the birth of the two known children. Joes Soap may already know all the details about their two known children.
Thomas and Anne may have emigrated and left the children behind but unlikely. I had an ancestor who went off to "America" leaving behind his wife and children but I doubt if both parents would go and leave children behind.
Maybe they both died of Cholera or they split up or he was transported to the antipodes?  If either Thomas' or Mary's parents left a Will it might solve the issue.
