I had play around to try and get back on but everyone is right it does go off your credit card details and refuses you if you try for a second time. But while playing around I noticed another free offer, if you download their family tree software you get free access to all their database's including the 91 census for 7 days. So I've tried that and bingo access to the 91 census, so I'm 2 days in to the trial period trying to get everybody I missed the last time only 5 days to go !!! Happy Hunting Steve

Stephen I have recently used and cancelled the free trial but did notice when I was first signing up that it does state that it is one trial per email address and credit card. You could get around this by using a different email address and another credit card if you have one available. Haven't tried it myself but would be interested to hear how you got on if you decided to give it a try. Karen

I think the free trial registration recognises addresses, so in theory you should be able to reregister with a different address. Obviously this may pose a problem with it not matching up with credit card details

I spent a very happy 2 weeks using the 1891 census on the Ancestry website a couple of months ago courtesy of their free trial offer. At the end of the 2 weeks I cancelled my subscription giving me the 2 weeks free as adveritised. No Problems But has anyone in GC world tried using the free 2 week trial period more then once. Do Ancestry limit you to one free trial, if so is there a way round this. Advice please Steve
