I am surprised no one sees the blatant dishonesty involved seems I must belong to a different world.

If you are, I'm in it too Guy. Far too many scammers out there as it is

i have just been on ancestry, nothing wrong with it, heres how to access it easily.

go to freeukgen, put your name in the box at the top which says name, press enter, the page comes up and where there is no padlocks you can access those pages, also you can do 1901 census without paying to see who is in the household.   Good searching.

Hi Jane and Helen

I couldn't get the marriages yesterday & they are still missing for me today (am in Australia)

I think this is different to what you are looking at Moira, the new images aren't indexed like the earlier data.

I don't actually see why it would be wrong to give an imaginary credit card number, if the whole "transaction" is imaginary.  It's not fraud, in my view, because YOU'RE NOT BUYING ANYTHING.  When and if you plan to buy something, you can update your credit card number - I'm sure they'll be happy to receive it.
Another option, if you're determined, is to get a new credit card, submit the number, then cancel the card.
Just my opinion.

Hi trish, just had a look on ancestry, yes i can see it is the same format as 1837online, very good as i have spent pounds on there, but rootschat are not going to get as many requests posted now are they, because people can look for themselves for free instead of asking us. Oh well, we can't win them all!

It is fraud for the simple reason that you agree to supply your credit card details as a condition to use and view the database for free. In other words you are nor keeping your side of the contract.

Imagine it the other way round. How would you feel if a company offered you free access to BMDs on condition you gave them the details of your credit card (which you did) and there was nothing on the site. Would you feel conned? Would you feel it wrong that they had deceived you?

Cheers
