	Hi, I have this as well as Ancestry, I bought it before Ancestry as it was cheaper, not really much use to me as my lot mainly hail from Warks and Co Durham and Suffolk. I will say though that the search facility is much better than ancestry! Regards Ann

I couldn't get their viewer to work to see the actual census return, which was a pain! Most of the information seems to be for London/Middlesex/Surrey areas. I was glad I'd just gone for the 72 hour option, as I was able to find all I needed.

	Ive just been looking on this site and wondering if anyone has used it, and if it is any good. The fee is quite cheap really compared to some others.
