Does anyone know what's happened to www.ancestral-villages.co.uk? I haven't looked at it for a while and it seems to have disappeared.

Researching:
Needham/Bagshaw in Derbyshire, Calland in Lancashire, Rudd in Hull/Norfolk, Wallace/Guinan in Ireland

Probably has, then..............

Sites often do get removed

It's a shame because there were some useful leads on there from time to time.

Not sure if this is the same site, but it appears to have joined Ancestry.

Just to make clear that AncestryAid is a very nice site, but it has nothing to do with Ancestry.co.uk

The link to Ancestral Villages that's on AncestryAid is the same one that I have and it doesn't work.

The mini url as above opens.
Is it a different site to the one Sonya was looking for?

Can BeverleyW give the correct one please?

AncestryAid is here
http://www.ancestryaid.co.uk/

The link to Ancestral-Villages which is given above and quoted on the ancestryaid forums is indeed broken. :-( (I see it was a post from 2006).
I'm afraid I don't have any more info.
