Hello Charani, Thanks for your email. That's exactly what I was planning with Ancestry - to go for a monthly account. When I had a year's subscription, I used it quite a bit for the first two months and never for the rest of the year. Now I could do with it again. It's difficult for me to get to Kew but not impossible so I'll see what I can work out.

If finding the cost of an annual subscription is too much, try taking out a monthly sub finding all you currently need/want, then unsubbing again until you have some more information you want, then take out another month. I've found that's the best way since I have a full sub to FMP. > Until I join Ancestry, I don't think there's anywhere else I can view the > 1911 census but that I will do, later. Ancestry don't have the 1911 yet. They've announced they have the summary books but they are totally different from previous censuses. However, if you are able to get to the National Archives at Kew, you can search it there, free of charge. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk ************************************** Send your List messages using **PLAIN TEXT** and always **TRIM AWAY** superfluous old messages in replies.

Hi John I assume you are in the UK ? (as you say emigrated to the USA) If so check your local library, many of which have Ancestry subscriptions, it means using it in the Library but you can do a lot of leg work using the indexes for potential hits and making a list to get in the library Many also have access to the Newspaper databases, often with home access, that can be very entertaining :-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > Thanks for your email.

It might be available at LDS eg at South Kensington or Staines if they are nearer Ann John Newport wrote: > > It's difficult for me to get to Kew but not impossible so I'll see what I > can work out. > > Regards, > > John > > >

Thanks Ann, I think Kew is that bit easier to get to, plus there are other things I'd like to look up, so Kew it must be!

Just to thank all those who helped me with this problem and advise that I am unsubscribing for a fortnight due to holidays. I'll re-subscribe as soon as I get back. Regards John
