Working fine for me as well.

A couple of hints...

If you buy the image you need teh film strip at the bottom open, choose the "extra materials" link and you will see teh front cover and instructions in the same purchase. That is where you find the address - it isn't on teh schedule listing itself.

When searching you can hover over a result and it gives the names of other people. These may not be related. I searched for Alfred John Palmer and there was a Violet as expected but also a a Jennie. Turned out Jennie owned the digs they were lodgers in.

This was on a desktop PC - it maybe different on other devices.

Went in about 10 mins ago and, just for the L of it, I got my grandparents and my Mum. I knew where they were, etc. from the 1911 but was surprised  that all their sons were still at home.

I spoke too soon... It's grinding to a halt for me.

But I think I have enough certainty that my very handsome great grandfather was a bigamist!

First record found and bought. Image viewer failed to properly load the image, with the browser console log full of "tile load failure" messages. Attempting to download the image also failed but worked after a few attempts.

So, about as good as service as I expect from FindMyPast nowadays.

I bought a image of my gran and her family and twice it said the "Something went wrong our end" with the very patronising "Whoops" at the front, before the image finally worked.

Struggling to get past the blurred, low-res (i.e. unreadable) version of my first one  ::)

I've had the same "Whoops" and low res, it took about 2 returns to the results and reloaded it and it was fine.

What do you reckon... She said she was separated, they corrected to married as they never divorced. Her husband married my ggrandma 6 years earlier...

I've waited a long time for such a simple meagre proof :)

Just had a quick look but going to resist staying up and will peruse properly tomorrow!

Already a bit of mystery awaiting me perhaps - can see my great-grandmother (who apparently never left her home town) living on the other side of the country for some inexplicable reason.

Not off to a great start.  My first search was for my grandmother with her parents and siblings, surname SPOONER.  I eventually found them transcribed under the surname STONER.

I haven't bought the image yet so I don't know if the original was badly written. I bet they will ask if I would like to submit a correction, so I will pay for the incorrectly transcribed image and correct it for them  ::)

Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton
