Moderator comment: topics merged


Hi,

I can't find the topic at the moment but I wanted to send my heartfelt thanks to the person who gave it to us.  I have just found an absolute gem!  I couldn't link the information I had about various Georges.

I now find out that George 'the jeweller' was at the Central Criminal Court in 1863 for being actively engaged for a number of years in making counterfeit coins 'of superior quality' and with another man, concerned in the robbery of Bank of England notepaper.

He was sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for 20 years!

What a little gem!!

Thanks again
Sue

I'm dragging this one up again because 3 months after I signed up for free trial access I've still got it - I've got so used to it now (I use it virtually every day) that I wouldn't know what to do without it .... I just didn't expect it to last this long!

I've just registered using my own name etc, with 'none' as institution and straight in.
It's got the Times digital archive, and loads more.

I was able to access the great site at the start, but now it seems my access has been blocked. :'( I have tried both Firefox and Internet Explorer to no luck, it just doesn't load.

Well, I just got in no problem...but I'm like the dog who unexpectedly caught the car he was chasing...I don't know what to do with it. Where should I start?

I had this problem at one point - can't remember properly but I think the link that Gale suggested I bookmark wasn't working.  Try logging in again from the invite page 

http://access.gale.com/gdctrial/login.html   this is the link I've bookmarked & it works fine for me thru Firefox
