Any search for an image in the death records produces zero results

Hmmph indeed - they do seem to have lost the plot. If you go to the year/quarter and letter you can still manually go looking - Seems they lost the index in cyberspace

Seems to be more than deaths - Pallots seems similar so I checked births - can't find them either.

Did you just do a general search Nanny jan? Cause I did a birth search (not the FreeBDM - that works fine) on the full birth index & it returns not found

Same experiences here.

Tried to look up a death (full indexes) and no return on any name or year.

Plus Rootschat really slow - just crashed on me and I've just got back on
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Thanks liz - it seems RootsChat has recovered - hopefully ancestry will soon as well. I see little point in sending a message - guaranteed I will receive a reply explaining how to do searches  ;D   ;D  probably signed by "Caroline Davis"
