I noticed that FMP's blog contained an April Fool's joke which is surely a particularly crass decision in view of the current state of their site. I also see that their CEO felt obliged to post a personal note which fails to apologise for the fiasco. The primary reason I visited the site today was to search the Index to the Death Duty Registers 1796-1903. This database seems to have completely disappeared!

The death duty register can be found by clicking on "filter by record set" and death duties are under "index to death duty registers" so need to click "I". I also have struggled but found this by chance.
