Hi Mick, Thanks for the information it will give me time to save. It will be cheaper than travel/stay in the area for me.

You might need to be holding a tissue as the proposed prices made my eyes water a bit:- Essex Ancestors - launch delayed The launch of Essex Ancestors, the proposed online register service from the Essex Records Office which was due to start around now has been delayed by "a couple of months". However, the subscription prices have been announced: £5 for a day, £15 for a week, £25 for a month, £50 for 6 months and £75 for a year. It sounds expensive compared to sites like Ancestry and findmypast which offer far more records, but on the other hand it will still be cheaper for me than a 50 mile roundtrip to Chelmsford. Mick L
