I'm obviously doing something wrong cos went to search for someone on the 1861 last night and figure he must be mistranscribed so tried searching under his christian name and occupation. And there's not one Tailor in any of the 4 counties currently available called William in 1861. That's amazing! Lou

still got problems,went over a search from yesterday and paid credits again,not happy,hope i get a few extra back,tony

Hi All I had the same problems today and emailed them telling them that the image I wanted was not loading and that it was very slow. I have just had an email back saying - try again later!! No free credits either!! :~(( Oh well I shall leave it a while before using it again! Regards Tammy

It could be due to the problem at a web host in London yesterday. It caused major problems for a lot of sites and businesses. Paul

I had the same problem as you Jill yesterday. Cherry

i was on this morning no problem, i done a census search found who i was looking for,then this afternoon i went on a birth search ,told i needed the downloads to view image,have emailed them after trying 4/5 times to download no joy,do you not need the downloads for the census ? just the bmd, or his it just a problem with the site .regards tony

I just did a search, paid to view image and got an image which didn't have the name on it that I searched for. The site then threw me off. The whole thing is a nightmare - it's 1901 all over again! Jill

I had problems with 1837 online as when I had put in the details for search, the search button did nothing. I did email them and they came back with a suggestion, but that didn't work so I emailed again and have had an e back suggesting I ring them and they will talk me through it. Jim

I was using it earlier, when on the news I saw that it was being advertised in the next minute the site crashed, so obviously everyone went and logged on, I expect they are having a 'windfall' of a day today! What about us that already have credits, cant get on!!

I have had trouble just doing a census search as I keep getting an error message due to the number of people searching the site. All the images I requested were fine but did take longer than normal to load and one is still spooling instead of printing.

I just watched the local news and it was mentioned how easy it is to go back generations just by using this site!! So everyone is Sheila

Thanks Annie....I'll do that Ann x

Ann, Send an email telling them and they may send you your lost credits. I had a problem a few days ago with images not fully downloading and they gave me 10 extra.

It was mentioned on BBC1 Breakfast show this morning, so probably just overloaded.

I had trouble getting the 1837 site today + when I finally did It was playing up........hence I lost a few credits as images didnt load!
