SC,

I'm in kinks     

You need to write & ask them which language it's been transcribed in

One thing I did see was that somebody has built the exact tree I am trying to work out .... and it's a public access tree, but I can't see it.  They're working to different dates to what I'm aware of - so intrigued to know if it's a relative I know, or a random/stranger-related to me that I don't know yet - and where they got their dates from .... as they don't fit mine

Mind you, I'm short by "a suitcase full of FHS transcriptions of every parish in the county" to be able to discuss/check if they're right or wrong.  I'm assuming, therefore, that they're right, which has dampened my spirits a little, until I can buy that suitcase full of PR transcripts to nail it.

You could ask someone with acces to direct them to this site.

I used to do it for a friend when I had a "sub" if she seen any possible links & she would get me to send a message with details to compare

Oh, I'm more of a wallflower....I don't like to "bother people".  I was wondering if the Library Edition gives access to those trees, I'm betting it doesn't.

I just want a peek really - I bet if I saw their tree it'd turn out to either be abandoned or something.  That's the trouble, how they "suck you in"

Have you check out other sites with trees in case they have one elsewhere ?

I've never found that family on any other formal site.  I've found online trees where his name is mentioned, but then they get lost too and abandon it, but it's a tiny part of their distant tree.  The ancestry tree is obviously being worked by somebody directly in my line/tree (based on the name they gave it).

I have patience....they've all been a long time dead and aren't going anywhere.  This guy died about 150 years ago.... but I know there's a "story" to be dug out somewhere as he seems so elusive and not with his wife (who seems to be up the road at their son's house) ... if I've got them all correct so far.

Do I have to pay anything up front for this free trial?

[Rosinish]

No...................It's straight forward.

Not up to much though 

I didn't have to give any details for credit card.

Reading some of the comments it would appear that "Public Trees" are not visible to people trying it out, it does not affect me (Ancestry Member ) but if that's the case they look to be trying to lure people in.
I suppose that's what business is all about.

I recently did some research where a guy from Diss was living just outside Ipswich, but only for 1 decade. I'd never have found him, the old fashioned way.

I don't know the circumstances of this of course, but sometimes the people recorded on a particular census may have only been there overnight; a few days or weeks; or even missed because they were in transit.   I was at home the night of the last census, but could quite easily have been on holiday somewhere.   
Raises a question that I hadn't given much thought to previously:  Were those at 36000 feet given a census form to fill in?
