I'm not sure why you can't get on to the site - I had no problem.

Are you typing the url correctly?

antill.org.uk ----- check your spelling of antill (no h)

My family was on there as well but I don't think there is any direct relation between my forebears and the person running the website. I e-mailed him with some suggestions about the family members he had of mine and he replied very nicely. Later on I saw they had been updated with the info I gave him. I looked again recently and my rellies have now been removed, not sure why. I'm sure there was a contact e-mail address on there, under one of the headings.

Just had another look at this site and my relatives are all there still so I must have been following an old link or something before (it was on google). There is a contact form if you want to ask hm something: http://www.antill.org.uk/suggest.php?page=

did you ever get on the site? I looked and saw lots without needing to be logged in. This page looks like it might be interesting to you:

I've just tried again and there's no problem accessing it; I tried Artypie's link, from where I then went to the home page, then the search facility, and so to the page listing all the Frosts. There are 38 Frosts listed, and just one of these is listed as coming from Markfield -- Alice Frost, b about 1784, of Markfield Lane. I could then access her tree etc.

Are you sure that you can't get on the site or is it that you can't navigate around it? Because I really don't understand why it should demand any details from you - it hasn't from me.

There seem to be a very large number of individuals named on the site and it may be difficult to decipher any link even if you do access the info. There are 246 Coopers for example!

He has my dad and most of my dad's family tree on there, and he had info about one of the executors of my grandad's will, but no death location so I sent him it. Since it is all info freely available on the internet anyway I don't have a problem with it.

Hello,

The Antill site is run by my husband.  There were some problems a few weeks ago and it is now hosted by a different company.  The web address is still Antill.org.uk and there are over 90,000 names on it.  No-one living should be shown though

Steve, you have been in touch with us, and I think one of the links is through the Geary family and my mother's Merriman name.  Ben Merriman's second wife was Gladys Gertrude Geary

Do get in touch again if you need to, either PM me or try the web site again.

That's interesting, wonder if they made domestic ware or if it was sanitary ware, pipes or whatever.

There is an Ibstock map of 1881 when they were there online. I think the way the enumerator wrote the addresses it is a house belonging to the farm. At the beginning of the enumerators piece it say High Bridge Farm.
