And the reply from the DRO: 'Thank you for your email received 17 March 2017. I am afraid we are unable to say why images that have previously been on Family Search are no longer available, and are particularly intrigued by the statement from Family Search saying that they cannot confirm why the images are no longer available. However, we speculate that it may be a negotiation between Ancestry and Family Search given that Ancestry are in the process of preparing Derbyshire parish registers to be made available through their site. Although we have not been involved in any conversations with Family Search about the images on their site, we believe that Ancestry and Family Search may have had a conversation about this.'

They may be further limited for some records by permissions granted (or not) by the Bishop. Sheffield is a notorious blackspot for access since the Bishop seems reluctant to grant permission. regards John On 2017-03-17 12:03, Joan M via DERBYSGEN wrote: > And here is the quote from the FS website > > ' Whether images can be viewed depends on requirements or restrictions > imposed on the collection by the records custodians.' > > I assume the custodians are the Derbyshire Records Office. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Joan M [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 16 March 2017 14:46 > To: 'Derbyshire genealogy' > Subject: RE: [DBY] Parish Register Images on FamilySearch > > Interestingly the records are now showing as being updated on 28 Feb > 2017 whereas previously it was Apr 2015 so this might have been the trigger. >
