Thanks for that Frank! I use my local library to access ancestry's records, but it's always nice to do some research from home :)

I wish you hadn't have told Sarah. We'll never get out of the house this bank holiday weekend now.  :P

My shortlist for this weekend is to achieve two objectives:
 - go house by house through an entire village census for 1901 to try to find out where my relatives were hiding (they must have been there, everybody else was).  If they're not there, they are on the other side of the river in one of the terraces, or up the road on another 20 roads..... I hope they turn up before page 200.... or it could be a looooooong weekend. I am working on it being a mistranscription ....as they're not on anybody's indexes.
- try to nail my GG-grandmother's parents.
Related to: Lots of people!
:)
Mostly Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, some Kent and Dorset.

I'm awaiting findmypast's next free weekend too.... Some of their records (in particular the newspaper archives) aren't available on a library subscription
