Anyone else having trouble with Ancestry?
« on: Wednesday 04 April 18 17:27 BST (UK) »
Trying to look at the 1881 census and my search for a James Cunningham b 1860 (but with a 5 year either side) leads to 81 possible records.  When I go to page 2 (records 51-81), I keep getting a page asking me to 'create a free account' or there is a 'sign in' option, which I already am!

Rimmer/Appleton/Ashcroft: St Helens, Lancs // Cul(le)y:St Helens & Little Bolton // Stott: Huyton Quarry & Sutton, Lancs
Carson:Belfast? & St Helens // Kelly:Mullingar, West Meath? & St Helens // Ronan: Ferns, Wexford & St Helens // Daley:Oranmore & Athenry, Co Galway //
Cunningham: Heworth, Gateshead & Widnes & St Helens, originating Ireland
Edgar: Bellie, Moray // Anderson: Selkirk // Rutherford: Hobkirk, Roxburghshire //
Stewart: Angus // Watson: Moray & Jamaica // Watt: Cairnie

Yes - I am getting the same!

Was searching for a William Bridger bn 1841 Leominster/Lyminster Sussex.

Came up with the 1861 census in the list - but click on it for more details  and get the page inviting you to sign in,  or to take out a US subscription!. Click on the image however and it is fine!!!
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

On the plus side, they have fixed the LMA burial search fields... lol!

I've just tried using explorer instead of firefox and that works. However it makes my computer slow running both browsers, so I am hoping the problem is solved soon, so I can go back to just firefox :)
