Quite agree Jen, one of the papers is the wonderful Ipswich Journal, marvellous if you have Suffolk ancestors, but covers the whole country too. ;D ;D

This is an extract from a message on a mailing list this morning.


"Further to our discussions on this thread the situation is definitely not as
I thought.  The British Library has been consulted and have confirmed that
this is indeed a 'back door' URL and it is not appropriate to use it
further."

So make the most of it while it lasts.

Oh dear - that's the housework out of the window again then!
It's beginning to make my head hurt, reading all that small print. But needs must, as they say.

Don't waste time reading it, download  and save the articles you want, then you can read them at your leisure.

I think my PC must be groaning at the amount I have downloaded. ;D ;D ;D

I've just done that and it's now requesting password etc. again.  What a blow, I was on the site earlier this afternoon and decided to do some ironing and get back to it tonight when my OH is out.

I have managed to keep gong by keeping the site open while I do other things That is something I would not normally do, but it has enabled me to keep searching, I have been lucky to find a terrific amount and downloaded it all.

My greatest find has been the announcement of a couple of marriages, both in unexpected places. One meant I could go straight to CityArk and download the certificate,  the other, the most important one I have been searching for for fifteen years.
