Has anyone else found issues with the marriage search?

I had an exact date and place of marriage from a birth record.

I tried using the male name plus surname of the spouse but, there was no match
I tried entering the details vice/versa but still no match.

I then searched using the male name only ( no surname for spouse) and found the potential marriage
I clicked on  "spouse details"

His spouse's surname was exactly as I had entered it but, SP  doesn't recognise it using the actual search field options?

That's not good!

Having same problem as larkspur " not recognizing password", tried twice resetting password, still no joy, have sent them an email.

Haven't searched for anything yet, but from the looks of it there are some extra clicks required to get to the specific search screens which is a step down in usability.

There is quite a long thread about the new site here...

I was a bit harsh in another topic about the design of the site. I don't like how extra clicks are required to get to specific search forms (like searching within Statutory Births) compared to before. But the fact that you don't have to pay credits just to see search results now more than makes up for it. I hope that's a permanent feature.

I don't know her death year, death age or death parish, but at least I know her birth year. So before I could include that in the search and get deaths for Mary Murrays of the right age, but now without that I'm left with results of 100s of different ages. I've contacted them about it so hopefully it can be returned at some stage.

Fab,

With you now & yes it's hopeless for anyone searching a death not knowing where they died but is that the idea, to make more £ 

The only thing to help there (although not much help) is years 1855 - 1944 (if she lived to be 100).

I have an elusive one too, now made even more elusive with not having the year of birth facility

Lud, I have just had a very nice reply back from them. I have 2 old accounts that I could not access, so opened a new one with my new E Mail and they are now going to put them all together in my new account so I can view previous searches. One happy Larkspur

Tried logging in with my old details.     ...Impossible!     Somehow, they don't have the details, even though I've had an account for 8 years.     Had to Re-Register, give all my details again, then pay for credits that I shouldn't have needed to pay for.      I had credits left on the site when they closed down for these "improvements".

      I then tried to find a baptism for 1835.     But when I look for a place to give this specific date, there is none there.     ...Am I right in saying that there is no place to give the birth date or have I missed something?

Yes, I had the same problem, then when I clicked to buy the image all it gave me was the 'cover page' for the entire film!  Moving forward is 6 credits a time so I stayed put & sent them a "help" message & am currently awaiting a response.
