Unfortunately, I do not have my father's birth certificate.

Think I need to apply to Gov.UK for it or my cousins' in England have it.

I was going to say the same thing but thought better of it 

I can see where you are coming from msr but these things happen, and yes, I'm a subscriber to Ancestry, if I can't get on over the weekend then I'll have to search on FindMyPast

Might have a squiz over the weekend. Stopped my subscription ( due to many reasons) and this will be good to quickly chase 1 or 2 leads down

Thanks Frank

Is it worldwide access or just UK?  I already have UK access but I've found a few distant relatives emigrated so would be handy to access those records

Is It Me???
I have managed to get access to some random English records but when I try Scottish/Irish records it goes to "sign up for 14 days free trial"

Anyone else got problems?

And the first thing I excitedly looked up said that it got its information from familysearch - which I already knew anyway!

Looks like they might've oversold their stall

Yes, there are some Family Search records available on Ancestry, as there are on FindMyPast.  BUT, luckily, there are also many more records on Ancestry which are fully indexed and with images.  Perhaps you were just unlucky in your initial search.

I cant view family trees ( others not my own) but that is of little consequence.

I seem to be able to view what I want. Just gotta find it!!!
