« on: Sunday 25 April 10 18:11 BST (UK) »
Is anyone else having trouble with this site - for a few days it wouldn't load at all.
Now it keeps giving error messages, etc

thanks, Aghadowey

it seems to work for Births and Deaths (also Residence????, whatever it means by that ) ... no Marriages, not even ones I had before

Strange, isn't it. Clicking 'residence' seems to get marriage results. However, I checked for grandfather's cousin with fairly common name (I already have marriage) and after putting in her name and selecting county there were only 2 entries- neither hers! Perhaps they're still working on it.

Anyone know what's happening here?

All the records I've looked for seem to be there but Marriage results are now coming up as 'Residence'.

Not only are marriages listed under 'residence' but they aren't all there! Did a search just now for a name where I know there are at least 5 marriages in Co. Londonderry and 1 came up but it wasn't any of the ones I know about. Suppose we'll just have to wait for LDS to fix the problem.

And now a Service Error message comes up saying there is a server error - so it looks as if they are working on it. Hopefully the missing records will be back soon!
