Dear Lists Thank you one and all to the many, many people who have sent me information re my two queries yesterday, I believe I have answered you all personally, if not I apologise. I have been sent some scanned Immigration Passenger lists too, so this has been wonderful even though I am not 100% sure this Henry POVALL found in New York in the 1880 census is mine, but I can't find him in the UK in 1881 so it's a trail I am going to follow. Below is Lis' reply to my Ancestry.com question and it seems to sum up pretty much what you get for your money. Some people were not aware that Ancestry.co.uk have a pay per view of £6 which allows you to look at 20 records. Once again, MANY MANY thanks for all your help, ROOTSWEB mailing lists really are the greatest, and I'm sorry if this is filling up the email boxes, but I thought the Ancestry.com question was one that others wanted answers to, and also to let everybody know that I don't require any more searches on my behalf at the moment - but when I do I will know where to come to first!!
