SEAX is the Essex Record Office website - a lot of stuff can be viewed online on payment of a small subscription to "Essex Ancestors", I understand you pay for a day/week/month/year type of set-up.
It is really good. Also has on it (no subscription needed) the index of all that is held at the Essex Record Office, and if you are visiting you can order in advance, or at least sort out in your mind what you want to try and look at whilst there. At the record office the whole website is available free.
It is a great resource if you have Essex ancestors at all. And the Essex RO is a great RO - the best by far I have been to!

Thanks for replies everyone,
I sometimes think the more you look the less you see.
I'd been looking at that William but because he couldn't make up his mind where he was born and I couldn't find birth or marriage records free online I bought a sub to seax.
I had a family that I thought he
might fit into (John and Nancy m c1800) but until I found his baptism in Stanstead Mountfitchet (1861 census) with the parents John and nancy I coudn't prove that he was one of mine.
So far for me the sub to Seax has been worthwhile as I now have this family back to c1750 and still working backwards.
Also you can take subs in small bites, you don't have to take a full year.
