I can still get them online but not as easily as it used to be.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

a lot of the information we had available online was in a PDF format that no longer meets the criteria around accessibility detailed in current legislation for the public sector so they have had to be taken down.
That's a load of cobblers.

It's a bit like saying that because a blind person can't enjoy a silent film, all silent films should be withdrawn.

They should be making plans to improve the accessibility for the minority who require such improvements, not depriving the majority of a useful resource.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thank you

and in addition to that:

 Following Elaine's advice I did a series of searches using
inverclyde intimations surnames
then added in turn (using a space between surnames and the letter)
A
B
C
D
E-F
G
H-K
L
M-1
M-2
N-R
S-T
U-Z

which each brought up a link for the relevant file, clicked the link and the file downloaded to my computer

I now have 13  .pdf files, which total 121.4 Mb saved on my computer.
So although the main site no longer gives access, the files are still currently downloadable.
How long they will remain on the server is anyones guess, but whenever I come across anything like this which is freely downloadable I do so and save it if I can, as so many specialist projects like this do disappear in time.

There is a 14th file Soldiers of Inverclyde – Military Entries 1914-1918. It is in exactly the same format indicating it is part of the series but it is not on the Watt site it is at
