Anyone else having problems? I haven't been able to get past the home page for the last hour. Either get the young lad with the rope or 'Cannot display page'

Yes I `ve been having problems......apparently they are offering free access to the new London Probate Records they put on yesterday...

Suppose to be running till 8th July...a lovely gesture to those without a sub, but those who have,... only having limited access is frustrating...!!

It seems to work better if you narrow your search...

Do we as people that subscribe get some sort of rebate for not being able to access so people that dont subscribe get free access? No dont think we will

Ancesry has been fine for me for the last couple of hours, since about 18:00 when I logged on.

Which records where people trying to view which has caused the difficulties, or was it timing out?

I haven't been able to access Ancestry for the last two days. Nothing seems to happen if you click on any particular search. :-S
