Who When Where

I would assume the search is taking into account Wakefield District rather than simply the city of Wakefield, Wakefield District covers an area of about 338 square kilometres and takes in many surrounding small towns and villages. It may help to try searching using "Wakefield City" but I h...

Knowing Royal mail you may get both certificates (original and the replacement) on the same day.

Six months ago my sister sadly passed away with Cancer. Once a week for a few years I went to her home so we could do the family tree together. She loved doing it and that made me happy as well. I have not done anything to our family tree for six months now. To be honest, I do not know if I want to...

Do ancestry think we are made of money to access this website at almost £15 a month!. No, but they are a commercial enterprise who have a duty to make money for their investors. It costs money to digitise, store & index the resulting scans not to mention the internet bandwidth fees. We also hav...

We have to pay for FMP's errors!. As I have said to FMP they should reduce the cost until they get the transcriptions correct. I prefer it the way it is now, in around 3 years at the most it will be part of the subscription, I don't mind paying for the images I desperately want now and waiting for ...

This raises a very interesting point, have you tried to access the 1921 Scottish census if the filming has finished and the transcription phase has started the census should be back and the National Records of Scotland and be open to inspection as 100 years has passed. There is no legal reason to pr...

The reference number is very simply the identification number of that particular certificate. It cannot be traced back to the person who bought the certificate but it can be traced to a sequence of certificates issued, in other words it helps to prove that the certificate is genuine. It is very simi...
