Interesting?

Search results are free and the full 6 credits are used to view the cert.

Got in no bother, and was able to change password and look at previous searches and saved certificates.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I got in no problem but I don't like the new set-up at all.

Already struggling to find what/where to look for everything which was very obvious pre change.

I'm still navigating no problem although I haven't purchased any credits yet nor viewed anything yet.

Just searching Indexes for possibles.

Surname I'm searching is "McCluskey" with many variants which would have cost an arm & a leg on the old system Indexes.

Love the fact that the index is free! (It did take me a while to find my grandmother on it, however,  as her first name has been transcribed as Margret not Margaret! It will take some time to get used to but I am delighted that I can play without it costing anything).

Apparently they have started to add the non conformist records - the blurb on the link I have just read on their twitter page is well worth looking at as it lists the churches which have been added.

Early days but so far so good!

Looking at Wills;

Old site gave no. of pages & price......not now!

I think if any of us have anything to complain about we should email them as the "Wills" section was very informative pre change.

I know the info. for pricing can be found on site but not the no. of pages which was available to us before!

Very pleased to have found a birth record for my gt gt gt grandmother today in the non conformist records. And in addition half a dozen siblings I previously knew nothing about (viewed for free in an index search)
