hi jacoby .
sorry forgot to answer your query re different sites , personally i use find my past most of the time , but do have access to ancestry i also use the genealogist and family relatives all for different reasons find my past has all census years also army service records up till 1913 then ancestry takes over for ww1 FindMyPast also has the passenger records out bound from england from 1890-1960 where as ancestry has inbound passenger records , look up FindMyPast and see the list of info they have online . also the genealogist covers census records from 1841-1901 but i also use them more for the non conformist records these cover religious groups such as the methodists quackers baptists and the like which are not covered on many sites ,
family relatives are good for the army lists and they also have a lot of obscure data on there that others don,t have . so in answer to your question yes ancestry is a good start as it has such a wide coverage of records . but don,t forget to use google for searching if you come up against something that isn,t on ancestry i always tell folk do a google search it,s amazing what sites come up sometimes my favourites is full of obscure sites that may well come in handy somewhere along the line .
sorry to ramble on but it,s what i do best
.
