When using the Ancestry site (using the passwords from this board) I am only getting results up to about 1905. When I feed in names/events that I am 100% certain of (i.e. my own birth and marriage) I receive the message "nothing found" What am I doing wrong??? Thanks Norman

Thanks Johnathon....... Still non the wiser though!!! I am clicking on the line that says "England and Wales Civil Reg. Index 1837-1983" and on "England and Wales Death Index 1984-1992" I would have expected the results to fall within the dates stated. Or have I got it wrong???? Norman

Thanks for that info. I already use 1837. I thought Ancestry looked like a quicker way of finding the info. But, as I frequently discover, quick ways of finding info do not appear to exist!!! Thanks Norman
