Tried a bit of a practice run, but all I ever get is "0 results". Even 1881 will only do a street search.
What am I doing wrong.

OK, well I was wrong by 24 hours!  Typical ... I'm rubbish at working out stuff like that.

Good-o, so I know what I'll be doing later this evening. 

Thanks morganllan. If I'd relied on myself I'd be most disappointed this time tomorrow ... 

I believe they changed it because the site couldn't cope the first time. Morganllan, do you know if you have to use the full 90 minutes in one hit, or can you do some now and some later?

I'm not getting free access, do you think it's because I signed in at 10 to 9?

Signed in at 09:00 keeps going to payment options

Peonie, you might be entering too much info. The search is idiosynchratic, if, for example I search 1881 for Frederick G Clennett b 1874 I get "0 results". If I remove just the forename I get 3 results, one of which is Frederick G Clennett. I've no idea why it works like that but the trick seems to be to do a broad search then try and narrow it down by adding more info.
