John Murrey is between James Murrey and George Musgrove, If you click on the image I presume you get a list of names starting with James Murrey and ending with George Musgrove with John Murrey somewhere in between.

Thanks, what an idiot I am, I knew I shouldn't have had that extra glass of wine tonight

Okay then, I'll be the first person to post something nice about this website 

I subscribed a couple of days ago and have found it to be most useful for 1866-1920, finding every entry I have been looking for. As far as I can tell, there is no need to view the actual image for searches within this period (unless you want to confirm that the GRO reference has been transcribed correctly before sending for a certificate etc).

The marriage searches are not as friendly as they could be - there is no facility to enter both partners names like there is on FreeBMD for instance (apart from after 1912, when I assume the maiden name started appearing on the actual indexes). I am surprised by this - it would be very easy for them to implement this on a transcribed database, simply having to match two GRO references.

Outside the years 1866-1920 it works out cheaper to use www.1837online.com (where it costs 10p per image viewed rather than 20p)

But overall it has been a good six quid spent, and a great aid for my family research!

Hello all.
Received a message today (24th March 2005) from Familyrelatives saying something along the lines of that 'the databases are now fully searchable' etc. Is this announcement accurate, as it seems to me (from what I've been reading here) as if visitors to the site have been fully capable of searching the site prior to this message being sent out? Was the information available before today only partially complete, or something?

Ryan.

You received this message because you have bought units, correct? I haven't needed to purchase any yet, so I am not familiar with this email. I have just recalled that I submit my email address to the site so I would be informed of status changes or new developments.

Oh well, it's not that important anyway

I haven't bought any credits from them, Just registered with them before they went live.
They in fact sent me 2 different e-mails today both including the offer.
One of them does sound like the welcoming e-mail i would of expected a couple of months ago when they first went on-line but didn't receive which has put me off them a bit.

I received the same message as Steve, but I also haven't bought any credits before - in fact I couldn't even remember the site at first because I registered with them, didn't hear anything, forgot all about them!

Hi i decided to register and do a few searches to see if any were correct and NONE of the searches came up so i dont think i will be purchasing any units until the site is functioning correctly, VERY annoyed that the site hasnt lived upto the expectations
