« on: Wednesday 25 February 26 12:07 GMT (UK) »To be fair they do provide a snippet, if you decide to go ahead and 'view' the full image then its available on your screen and you will get all the info - which is what they are selling.By snippet do you mean a thumbnail view of all the pages? If so, it is not possible to read the page to see if it has the relevant information. My problem is I thought the free trial would allow me to assess this prepaid option and I wasn't really paying enough attention. Suddenly I had nothing left in my free trial.

Not as such, I know that isn't readable but the OCR attempt which is printed at the side of that will often give an idea.
e.g. I just used the BNA to search for an article I already have from 24 July 1874 for an inquest report in the Newcastle Courant. I put Grace Agnes Sinclair in the search and this popped up.
Its not always that clear, the OCR struggles if the scan isn't too clear and you need to learn to interpret the gobbledegook

« on: Wednesday 25 February 26 11:30 GMT (UK) »Have you asked BNA?Yes. Still waiting for an answer. None of their FAQ address what constitues a download. Logic seems to suggest that my impression from the free trial is wrong. Surely you have to be able to read the page before decing to pay for a download?

looking at both images of the writing I'd say
Emmie and Jonny or Jenny
the writer doesn't completely form the 'e' at the end of 'outside' or 'the'
