I cant believe this, is this a limited time offer do you think?

Ive just managed to search 1901 census (trouble is this is my lunch break and gotta log off now) oh the frustration...

I have never paid ancestry and never signed for free trial so how come I can do this????    :o

They have the 1901 census free to search for a limited time. The BMD index seems to be free - at least I can't see anything about a limited time...

Be very very careful when using this faciltiy.

I have cross checked a death and a marriage from 1837 on line and they do not appear on the Ancestry site.

Perhaps this is why it is free - bit hit and miss ,perhaps.

Missing pages?

Because ancestry support FreeBDM and have a copy of their data base, I would assume that the images are those created for freeBDM transcribers to use - many of which are also available on freeBDM & Ancestry would have had to presumably create the page index. My understanding is that FreeBDM is precisely that and Ancestry have to accept that this data is FREE & simpy use it to enhance their image. I found it interesting that they now acknowledge that the 1837-1984 index is INCOMPLETE -  a fact they never mentioned until recently.

I was contemplating the 1837 offer when I logged onto ancestry and found their data. It would seem 1837 has almost become obsolete - rather like my many family members of the 1800s who were candle makers.   ;D  ;D

Great news -saves all those journeys on the tube. BUT when I looked this morning I did find a few errors---I was looking up Ringrose in various years and sometimes the page came up with surnames beginning with a different letter.Still this problem will probably be solved .

yes-if you search a year at a time, you can just as easily end up with only two or three records or six or seven. The incorrectly transcribed ones which mean extra entries is ok, but the missing ones seem unlikely for a common surname
