The Common Room / FamilySearch
« on: Saturday 27 January 24 13:42 GMT (UK)  »
Every time I use FamilySearch I have to log in -- in the past, there used to be an option to remain signed in for two weeks but that option seems to have disappeared. Am I missing something obvious?

Can anyone identify the name of the company shown on the attached image and what their business was. The image shows the company that a man worked for in 1914 just before he enlisted for WW1.

My wife came across this photograph on a Facebook page yesterday. This is the type of ancestor that I think we would all like in our family tree :)

Essex / Thomas Willcox
« on: Saturday 09 September 23 14:19 BST (UK)  »
Thomas Willcox ( various spellings of surname - Wilcox, Willcocks, Wilcocks) -- the family bible records that he was born on the 12 December 1997 1797 and died at Colchester, age 3 years in 1800 or 1801 (entry of year of death very faint). Anyone have any idea where I could find his burial entry?

The Common Room / FreeReg --- AGAIN
« on: Thursday 07 September 23 09:58 BST (UK)  »
Tried to use FreeReg this morning, able to enter search criteria but when clicked 'search' all I got was:-

This website is under heavy load (queue full)
We're sorry, too many people are accessing this website at the same time. We're working on this problem. Please try again later.

Is it just me or is FreeReg having greater problems than they had earlier this week?

Anyone having trouble with FreeReg this morning? It's running very slow for my searches. I have no problem with the search speeds of other sites, e.g. FindMyPast/ANC/GRO and of course RootsChat :)
