There's a thread somewhere that lists load of sites, free or otherwise.

But it can be a bit baffling to newbies as it is a very long list. Probably better to post on here when you're stuck and ask where else you might be able to look.

Better when the site is free but only because the work is done by volunteers


www.freecen.org.uk

Another free one this time for census but coverage is patchy but again done by volunteers

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

Many thanks to those who help us newbies. Someone suggested searching FreeBMD. I didn't know it existed. I've since done several searches for those I thought may have been widowed then remarried. I have tied up several loose ends on my tree.
