The problem with the newspapers on FMP is not with FMP but with the archives server to FMP.

Electoral Rolls seem ok to me now, plus I have noticed they have added post codes to the addresses

Newspapers, the electoral roll. And the crime records all are a problem, hopefully not for much longer.

The electoral roll section too just goes round and round and doesn't give any results

I emailed FMP this morning about not being able to access their newspaper section and got the following reply this afternoon. Good service for a Sunday

"
I am sorry that you have not been able to access these records.

Unfortunately, due to a small technical issue connected to the newspaper archive,it is not currently possible to access any newspaper records via findmypast.

The problems started on Friday and this is most certainly a temporary issue.
We have all of our technical experts looking at the issue as a matter of urgency.
Realistically, it is likely to continue over the weekend until we can implement a fix very early next week.

Thank you in advance of your understanding and your patience.


Kind Regards,


Nicky

Has anyone with Find My Past got a problem with getting into the newspaper section please?

For the last hour or so I get a "Data Acess Error" message. It then very politely tells me that it is not my fault
