So they can Edit the tree then.

Yes, I tried contributor too, but that hasn't worked either.

It doesn't look as though they can add to the tree then

Yes it does say that.

No, I don't want to give them my registration details for Ancestry.

Oh thank you for this useful number. I will let you know what happens

According to the Ancestry help page I found, Editor: Gives the invitee the ability to edit or delete any person in your tree. It does not mention adding new names.

The other roles are

Contributor: Contributors have the ability to upload photos or stories to your tree, but cannot make edits to the tree

Guest: Gives this person you've invited access to view your tree and leave comments

That's odd. The blurb for Editor does say Add and Edit people.

One solution might be to tell them your registration details to allow them to sign in as 'you' but would you really want to??

The sites' help desk phone number is 0800 404 9723. If you decided to phone them, it would be interesting to hear their solution.

I sent someone a contributor invite to view a family tree on Ancestry., but they said they can't add any names etc to the tree, which is what I was hoping they could do.
Even as an editor they can't add anything
Is there any way of sending an invite so that they can add names etc,
