Without doubt ancestry is the best - you can even try it free for 14 days. Census 1901-1841, London marriage births and burials, images of the registry - WONDERFUL for us with London ancestors, I have saved an absolute fortune in certs, only wished theyd had them 6 years ago when I started. |

Having had basic Ancestry for several years, I've recently upgraded to get access to London BMDs from 1754, which has proved well worth the extra cost. |

Hi everyone..Happy Christmas.....local Recordfs offices often have free access to Ancestry..which is very handy..because even the basic subscription gives you access to Census and Bmd's..........I go to Matlock Records office quite often, and although I have Ancestry myself..free access whilst I have been there is very handy. |

Thanks for your help. A present of a subscription is a good idea. I live in Spain so uk libraries are not much use to me. |

I forgot to add that many local libraries allow free access to Ancestry if you are a member, and local record centres have copies of censuses - but that may not be so convenient. |

Pay as you go is okay if you know what you are looking for, but it is too easy to keep topping up your credit in your enthusiasm. |

When I first started researching family history last year I used Roots.UK on a pay to view sub. Lot count of the amount of credits I lost by looking at the wrong records. |

There seems to be lots of companies that offer subscriptions an credits for searching BDM I would prefer a pay as you go but anyone know which is the best value for money? |
