That's great. I have used Ancestry for my family tree which is now quite extensive, but don't want to pay for another annual subscription. I have also used FreeBMD, Family Search.org and find a grave for research which are all free.

Good deal. Shame it's over holiday weekend when the weather is forecast to be good.

Free access from our libraries at Greater Manchester. Maybe other libraries too.
