Ancestry- new records ?

[tofgem]

Hi tillypeg
Same thing happened to me. I noted that the service was available to Premium and Worldwide subscribers so thought I had better do a mammoth search before someone noticed. You were lucky as I only looked for a few.
My mistake was obviously to log off whilst I did some housework, as I cannot access the records now. I'm not amused

I didn't notice about having to have the dearer membership, so wondered why I couldn't get back in.

Very annoying, especially as I've been correcting several of their census transcriptions.  Some are ridiculous.

Just had the same thing happened to me
They keep adding the new records to the premium membership. We pay enough as it is
I know it cost money to scan and index but the upgrade is not worth my while as I have few relatives in London to justify adding the extra cost to my family history subscriptions.
Its about time the ordinary members got a lookin

And there was me thinking you all had premium membership when I clicked on the link just now!

Whilst I'm glad of access to the census records, surely we've all more than paid for them by now?  They should let us now have access to other "essentials".  (Personally, when I first signed up, it was for all British and Irish records - they didn't tell me it would eventually mean I only have access to a select few collections ie the censuses.) 

I find a lot of excellent records for my main area, Cheshire & Lancashire, and others too, at archive.org for free and which can be far more wide ranging.  eg wills that are not A2A and when I asked at Lancs Record Office, there they were!

FAB Fiona,

Do you have a link to that site please?

Thanks

it might be a Cunning Plan to tempt you to upgrade to Premium

Of course!  I knew they must have a reason for getting Baldrick on the team

Am very lucky that my local library has Ancestry.com Library Version so I've just been down to get my free half hour for today, following yesterday's upset.  Managed to find another 15 relevant Wills/Administrations.  Have filled in quite a few gaps in my research re death dates & places.  Am now sorely tempted to send off for the documents just to find out who got what!

You are lucky Tillypeg.
There are only four libraries in my county which have Ancestry and they are nowhere near me.
I'm just going to pretend that I do not know anything about the database and then I won't be disappointed.
