I wonder if it got overloaded?  I know it seemed like forever to get the images downloaded

I never had a problem with the amount of time to download an image but then I do most of my research during off-peak hours.

Let's keep our fingers crossed (figuratively since it would be hard to type otherwise  ) that they will be back.

I can't help feeling it was some sort of problem - some cheshire records disappeared with tales of legal issues never to come back

Ancestry.ca will have the 1916 census on their site shortly apparently.

There are Cheshire Church of England burial, christening and marriage records and Cheshire Register of Electors records with images at the site now. Were different records taken down? If those are the records you were referring to then there is hope that the images for the 1916 census will be back.

No the Cheshire records have not come back - LOTS of parish records called undindexed records

PS I located the spuses family of one of my lot
They were Icelandic extraction so the names are a little difficult

I was looking for Pauline Johnson (Palina Jonsson) with parents Philip and Thordis

They were transcribed Adolph and Thordis Johnan, Pauline was Bealin.

The Chelshire Church of England BMD databases are indexed by name.

Hi

This was another larger database of CHeshire PRs
Absolutely no indexing, you had to wade through the pages, but it was fantastic for a county under-represented in IGI. It was pulled within a week!
