G'day Pauline, I'm on a Carer's pension to look after the wife, so don't have the financial capacity that I'd like to follow up on some of my research. I've hear that one of the problems with Ancestry.com is ending your subscription. There's been a change in ownership so things may have improved. I don't know much about Findmypast. That's about all I can tell you.

A friend uses Findmypast and finds it equally excellent. The annual subs are similar - around UKP 80.
