Have tried messaging them on Facebook but no answers. Last posting seems to be 22 July. ???

I used to visit the site often and was considering a subscription as it was affordable and they had a lot of content, even their free to view stuff was useful...... :-\

I do hope they manage to get it up and running again

Just spoken to a lady in South Africa who is also trying to contact them. I believe they are based in Jersey.

Does not appear well known that they are down.

I did use the site but did not find anything new.I found it difficult to see images even though I had a subscription and I gave up.

It is/was useful for BMD of overseas British subjects, which was free.  I had a subscription which lapsed after a year.  Now I wish to look up a B.S. born in Gibraltar and don't know where to check it.  Any suggestions please?

They are down due to changing servers.
I can't remember the details of it all but they had been having trouble a decided to change the servers.
They hope to be back soon and are supposedly going to contact subscribers with regards to extending their subscriptions.

It was on one of the forums or mailing lists.

Cheers

Thank you Guy, very helpful.  I've tried in vain searching on Find my Past for B.S. born in Gibraltar and it shows Greece...
