When I renewed my GR membership last time I thought I'd try the Gold membership (£34.95 for 6 months).

On the whole I do think its good value for money. Although I have found that sometimes when I search for a record (that I know is on Ancestry) the result is no matches. Usually this happens when a surname has been mis-transcribed.

I guess you mean your tree, where the little green tree pops up and a drop down list of connections tell you it matches 7 other trees and several census references, and when you click on them they don't exist ! Or they want you to spend credits buying the census image.....well don't bother ! Never found one that works .

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

Gold membership is £25 on top of usual subs.
Does not sound dear to me.

Only £34.95 for 6 months
That's just £5.83 a month for unlimited access to the No.1 family history site with over 500

Sorry i cant help i do not buy credits to access records on GR, so i have not seen the problem.
Perhaps someone else who does may answer

An expensive way to reseach though

Yes , it's all done on GR , that's why the confusion ..on one hand it's telling me I have a match then it tells me there are no matches ?

Where are you accessing census records, is it on GR?

Has anyone come across the situation where a relative added in your family tree appears to have a match in a Cencus but when trying to access it by selecting the match the message from the actual Cencus says that there are no matches ?

I'm confused !!!!
