Lou I've just sent them an email (after havingspent five minutes looking for a contact address for them) asking why I cant access the Times and informing them it's inclusion on the results for UK ancestry users is very misleading let you know when I hear back Zoe

Zoe I'd be interested in knowing the answer cos like you I'm as upgraded as you can get but can't access the newspapers and periodicals section either, which seems a bit misleading given that they advertise that as one of the features when you subscribe! Lou

Patricia well thats what I thought but the uprgrade page is telling me I'm a Queen Bee and cant go any further up LOL It's very frustrating as access to the Times is one of teh things I'd LOVE and could play all day on. i might email them about it and find out whats the story Zoe

Yes I do. I don't think you get newspapers or periodicals. They are an other upgrade I think.

Searching the GRO indexes on ancestry I got a hit and clicked on the name to view the persons record and on the left of the screen there was a link saying 'search for xxxx xxxxx in the London Times'. ........ So I clicked the link to see what it came up with and it took me to a page asking me to subscribe - which obviously i already do. ......... I've checked my account and it tells me I have all the options I can get for UK ancestry and I'm fully upgraded ............... so am i being stupid or does everyone else get the same? ............ (the search I did was for Adelaide Charlotte Cotton birth if anyone wants to see what I mean. zoe
