Title: ANCESTRY returned zero good matches
Post by: louisa maud on Sunday 12 August 18 18:05 BST (UK)
I have been searching Ancestry for years, a well paid up member , I have asked it for information today and I get the following

England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
751
England and Wales, Death Index, 2007-2015
127
England & Scotland, Select Cemetery Registers, 1800-2016
1

Then I click on any of the above and get this message

Your Search for Mary returned zero good matches

Why?
We couldn't find any results that exactly matched the information you marked as 'Exact'. Learn more

What should you do?
* Try un-checking one or more 'Exact' boxes to show close matches even when no exact matches are found.

I have tried various ways but end up with NIL results, it is annoying to say the least as this is not he first time it has happened

Any help much appreciated

Family Search is also being difficult for me at the moment. Maybe just a coincidence but...  >:(

Hello louisa maud just seen the posts about good zero matches i too have been with Ancestry
for years and often get that reply.
Even when i have all the info that they have asked for on their form.
What can be done? did you ever get an answer from them?.
Regards tobyma123. :)

No, I think they wanted more information and I didn't get back to them, I prefer to speak to someone in person, it is a bit spasmodic, I just plod on but it is frustrating,

Hello louisa maud thanks for your reply prompt.

Another of my gripes is they have all Irish counties except Down?.

Yes, indeed, thank goodness for Rootschat, we are a friendly helpful bunch. I help and sometimes need help myself, it is surprising  what another pair of eyes will see when one cannot see the wood for the trees themselves  as the saying goes

Not noticed the not secure red alert, wonder what anyone else has to say about that

Happy Hunting

I use Google Chrome and I have this too. It's just pointing out that the site is not a secure site where you could enter sensitive info like credit card details - the address doesn't start with https and there's no padlock. It doesn't mean the site itself is unsafe.
