The free trial as I understand is only available until the end of september, so get busy looking during the next month! The 1891 british census is complete but the 1871 and 1901 are only partial. When you get on the Ancestry homepage look to the righthand side, about half way down under the globe and you'll find the link for UK and Ireland links. This will bring up all available resources. Much more than just the census's for you to look at. Hope this is of help. Joanne

A good site for 1871 1891 and 1901 census certain areas, thankyou geoff for explaining what to do, been on here all afternoon looking at the census info....Sue

Hi Meryl, Once i have logged in i click Biography- Genealogy then on the next page you will see Ancestry Plus click on database then click proceed. Where it says census records i click on More... (click on More... that is underneath any of the other catergories to get the other UK records, BDM for example) then on the next screen scroll down and you will see a list of different census for different countries select the one you want then click go then just search for the person you want. Below the search box is a list of Counties if you can't see a county then it hasn't been indexed yet. I would advise installing the advanced viewer as well. Steve.

Thanks Steven will go back and try again Val

Val, there should be no space in the username pubacd17 and the password is durable, that should get you in. Steve.

Managed to get onto site but where do i find the census? It s probably obvious to eveyone else! Thanks Meryl

Hi Diane I decided to give trials.gale.com a go but have come across an obsticle!! Page opens GALES PUBLIC & ACADEMIC DATA BASE TRIAL next comes NAME PASSWORD login is this what I should see so far? I tried putting pubacd 17 in NAME that came up with 401 AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED I then tried putting pubacd 17 in PASSWORD and came up with the same. Forgive me I am very very new at this and computors!! Thanks for any help Val

***"""">>> Nope, still cannot get on the site, every time I click on, after using the user name password etc as detailed, all I get is a page telling me I am not authorized to use!! Have now given up, too stressful to keep on trying (have been trying for last 15 mins!!)

Hi Diane Have just found loads of information on the website you mentioned, so thank you very much for telling us about it. Natalie

Have you clicked on "database" at the bottom of the paragraph about times /ancestry? Kim

Hi, This looks a great site but it won't let me access any info once I'm in. I enter password/username and get to the homepage but when I try to open up the Times or Ancestry it tells me I'm not a recognized user !!! Any ideas?? Clare.xxx

Hi Thank you Kim and Marcie, I had included the brackets which is why I had no success. It looks as if it will be a useful site. Regards Jepo

Must be really slow as only just realise you can access all thouse padlocked bits of Ancestry that you can't usually , just found some American rellies on the 1870 census ! Bingo ! Kim

hiya on some p.c.s you have to de enable your firewall to access, i did and as soon as i,d accessed the site i enabled my fire wall and it let me carry on but you take a risk if your not careful marcie

Did you take out all the brackets? kim

Hi When I tried this web site I get the message that the page cannot be displayed. Has any one any advice please. Regards jepo

After you enter password/username etc, click on the biography , genealogy heading in blue on your left , scroll down to the Times Archive paragraph and click on database, you should then get up a search page to enter whatever you want to look up. Kim

I tried to access, but every on clicking on to anything (displayed on the menu) when inserting username etc, just took me back to first page! How can I get into the info etc, the Times for example? what am I doing wrong??
