And even if you do pay, as I foolishly did, you will only be able to view transcripts. Not original documents

Joy, once again you have come up 'trumps' with information that I had no idea about. Thank you.
I shall be sure to look at the "Find my past" web site during England's matches ..........I don't need to watch to know the score's; the noise from the menfolk tell it all .
Long may your contributions to the various 'boards' continue.

You have to have the Platinum subscription to view the 1911 on here.

You can do a free search on the official 1911 site and often find the household if the name isn't too common, but not all the details.

Who are you looking for?

Hi, I get an exact match but when I click on it I only get a page telling me to update to platinum. I don't want to do that but can't see a way past this page? Is there one please?
