Does anybody know if the above website is still available, or has it been taken over ?

Hmmm ... I had it stashed on my favourites, clicked on it, - and instead of the site coming up, as it usually did, I was whirled to Ancestry, as Dawnsh seems to have suggested. Odd, can't recall last time I used it.....
But when I tried to find it on "Ancestry" - I couldn't. Sorry, brian38. The people who compiled it did a pretty good and diligent job, in my opinion.
Sorry, no links to your names, or even that area of the country, so I can't even help you there. Good luck, though.

Rootsweb Freepages sites were all taken offline a few months ago because of some security issue, but as of the past week, they've started bringing them back - a slow and gradual process.

Site owners are able to request that their sites are brought forward in the queue, which might conceivably be an attempt to weed out old sites that are no longer maintained. However, until a site is restored at Rootsweb, it might be possible to find it at the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/).

During the downtime site addresses have been redirected to a holding page, which has also changed in the past few days. The new one seems to make it a bit more obvious that Rootsweb is part of Ancestry, which has been the case for some years now.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson
