I have tried to access the records, but it says I have to sign up for a free 14 days and give them my visa card details :-S :-S

This is the link to the webpage I used

I'll try again tomorrow but it does say 3rd- 6th April which I thought was strange as the weekend would be 5th - 7th April!!

Oh!
I wonder if that's an old webpage from last year? :-S :-S :-S

EDITED
Of course we are not in April! It's June already! :-D

Joan,
I tried to copy and paste the link here, but when I posted it, it was bringing my open account up! :-0 :-0 :-0

So I deleted!

I typed Ancestry.co.uk into google search and then clicked on the link.
Don't click on the one with "ad" by it, go to the link that says.....

Ancestry.co.uk
www.ancestry.co.uk/
Discover your family history and build a family tree with the world's largest genealogy website. Search birth records, census data, obituaries and more!


You should have a webpage with a green box "search free" on the bottom right hand side of the page.

Clicking on this should lead you to a register or log in page. You will need to register first if you are not already a member, but that's free.

I've just put a post on the Genealogy Chat about this as there's another thread about the same thing. Hope it helps.

I have just seen this on Ancestry which I have copied and pasted

Note: The Ancestry.com website will undergo scheduled maintenance on Saturday, 6 June 2015, from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. During that time, some portions of the site may be unavailable. Thank you for your patience. :-D

They offer free access, then remove some of the data? Unbelievable!

Mind you, as Jem has copied off the .comsite, may be its only US records which will be unavailable.
