Just double-checked and neither can I. :(

Make friends with an LDS member - they could access them for you ;)  .  This isn't as flippant as it sounds, I hope.  I have some LDS internet "friends" and they do the occasional look-up for me.

Hi

Thanks everyone.

I have received an e-mail from family search which states that the Record Office has cancelled their
Contract.

Let's hope that Ancestry will share the images with Familysearch next year.

I do have account with Ancestry, but many people do not and this was a wonderful free access.

I do hope that this does not mean Anc***** have been up to some skulduggery ("we'll pay you for exclusive use" sort of thing) and that other counties won't follow.

Talking of "Ancestry" I've found it almost impossible to view scans / images of censuses today on there - no idea why. Different areas, different years, as far as I know no changes to my membership, keep getting "Not available" so ... perhaps it's all part of a great musical chairs for records? (Gosh, I hope not!)

Oh what a shame!
I don't have an account with Ancestry, so that means more trips to the library.
And I always find searching on Ancestry a real chore, especially if you're doing a wide sweep for information - you get all sorts of stuff nowhere near related to what you want.
The images on familysearch were so easy to get, but my nearest LDS library is a 50 mile round trip.
I wonder why the Record Office cancelled the contract?
