Hi, As a general question, what does the "de lux" membership of Ancestry.co.uk offer over the free-views available? Does it just give the register index of Volume & Page or are there other details available? I am thinking about subscribing but just wondered what the advantages were. Rob. of Portsmouth

The deluxe Ancestry membership gives you access to Ancestry's worldwide databases for example the complete US census collection, Canadian census etc plus other records for around the world. If you only need UK records stick to the cheaper option for the UK, which I personally find invaluable in tracking down all those branchlettes and twiglettes especially now that they have the full range of census records for England and Wales 1841 to 1901. You can get the volume and page numbers for the GRO BMD index free of charge by using the beta version currently available to all rather than using their version of FreeBMD. They usually offer a free 14 day trial to everyone who wants it. Why not try that but remember to follow the instructions carefully if you do not wish to continue with membership following the trial period.
