I know a few of you on here have used this site, what did you think of it? Good value - better value than 1837? Reliable? Accurate? I seem to remember months ago there being a few teething problems with it - have things improved? I am looking for my gm's first marriage and a kind lady on here suggested familyrelatives. I've had a quick look and it seems quite user friendly - just wanted some opinions Lisa

It's good for 1866-1920. Anything outside that, and it's a toss-up between that and 1837. It's useless for anything pre-1866 though. Those details haven't been included yet.

I agree, 1866-1920 absolutely brilliant, gives you every match in the country for that name if you want.

If you use it, don't forget it won't search middle names (ie if you ask for John Thomas Smith it will say, ''Nil Results''!!). Another thing - you can view all the results you ever asked for previously on it - all your data is automatically archived, so when you have accidentally lost the bit of paper you wrote it on, you don't have to pay again!!

Yes, I remember that problem when the site first started and we were all moaning that defo people werent on there. It was only by accident I left a middle name out and of course up shot the right person!

Hmm, might give it a go. Ancestry no use as only up to 1909/10, don't think granny would have married at the age of 9 or 10! Lisa
