Anyone having trouble with Findmypast this morning ?
« on: Tuesday 23 May 23 08:43 BST (UK) »
Or is just me ? I'm searching births William Sullivan 1889 Poplar and it's showing "no results found".
Same when I omit location .

If I omit location and dob I get 5 double barreled names .
I'm sure I've found him before .

Same problems with searching for him in census returns ,and I have a copy of him in the 1901 return from previous searches .
Also no joy in marriages when I've previous results .
Oh well ,I've spoken to FindMyPast now and they'll look into it .
Just wondered if it was only me or whether others were having problems .

I don't have a subscription to findmypast, but just tried looking for one of my ancestors and nothing coming up at all for him. Must be something wrong at their end.

I cannot get a result either but that may be due to the fact that according to the GRO Index there wasn't a William Sullivan registered in Poplar in 1889

They have 3 results when searching for William Sullivan Poplar 1889 +/-2 years
William Sep 1888 Poplar 1c 662 mmn Kennedy
William Charles Dec 1891 Poplar 1c 552 mmn Lark
William James Mar 1888 Poplar 1c 699 mmn McCarthy
Smith Tiplady Boulton Branthwaite King Miller Woolfall Bretherton Archer and many more

All good for me this morning -- I've ran a few searches and all have come up with the expected results. Seems like a random problem.

Something is wrong.
I have just done a search in 'Civil Births' on FindMyPast for Stanley Smith, no other details entered.
I get 47 results, all of them double-barrelled surnames.
