Just popped in to say I like the way the transcriptions are laid out. I hope they can do something similar for all the censuses at some point.

How strange - Viewed my grandmother with my mother and aunt.   My aunt and mother's surnames have been crossed out and replaced with the surnames of their future husbands who they didn't marry until 1858 and 1947 ????   They hadn't met them by 1939

Well, better than I thought it would be ::)
However, the first entry I checked, my parents, has my mother Doris, as Norris :o and male!
How do I suggest a correction?
Also my great grandmother Ann Clulo is transcribed  as Ann Blulb! :-X

I have not as yet bought any credits but am seeing everyone indexed that I have searched for so far who died before 1991. 

My mothers sister who died in 1995 is showing complete with her married surname in brackets. I was expecting to have to get her redacted  ;D

From a very popular previous thread here ( over 30 pages when closed) I was under the impression that present subscribers were being offered 25% discount.
I have only been offered 10%, subscriber since last December. I have written an email,but don't suppose I'll get a quick reply. Anyone else only been offered 10%?

Found my grandfather and grandmother.  Have been searching for over 8 years to try and find my grandmother pre 1901.  This is the first year that I can find her.  We do not have a birth certificate for her and I have been told by a daughter and several grandchildren that her birthdate was 14 July 1880 or 1881.  1939 Register provides a birth date of 14 July 1883.  Allows me to further explore census and birth records to try and find her, using 1883 as a search year.

Record was reasonably easy to find.

These records were kept up to date until 1991, so that is to be expected
