I have an Essentials membership at Ancestry.co.uk as I'm a first generation Canadian, and nearly all of my husband's and my ancestors are British. So this week, I stumbled across the prompts for the recently added London parish registers and discovered: where and when my great-great-great-grandmother was buried and the name of her residence; and where my great-great-great-grandparents were living at the times of the births of their numerous children (including Butchers Row Lane, which I gather smelled quite a bit...).
ReplyDeleteVery excited, I logged off to collect my younger daughter from school. When I returned, the gates were shut against me. Apparently I have to update my membership to the next tier in order to access these records now. Fortunately, I'd saved what I'd viewed during what was essentially an unannounced trial period.
I feel a bit used.
