Has anyone tried to access FreeBMD website and search?

Appears that the server is not available.

Error Message:

503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.

Perhaps maybe site maintenance and/or updating new records.

Will try again later

I've just tried it and it is working fine.  Searched for one person and that came up promptly.

Sometimes you may get that message if you haven't cleared your cookies etc. for some time.  Try clearing them and see if that helps.

Used it a couple of hours ago without any issues.

Well there were issues, the person I was looking for was supposedly born in Bradford according to his Son’s tree of three but no records show up.
