Philip
Im having the same problem have sent a note to the contact centre as yet no reply, its a bit stiff when it cost nearly £36 for six months and the site doesn't work 24/7.

Have you tried Free BMD ? there are a lot more names there since they updated.

Brian

Brian Report 11 Oct 2010 21:53

I would try another free site but i have paid for this one .
are you saying i can get all that i get here for free somewhere else because i didn't know that was possible?

Always best to try a free search on other sites as sometimes you can get different results. FreeBMD or FamilySearch. With FreeBMD you can view all who married on page volume so can poss guess who the bride was and download page index.

just had a go at the free bmd, bit confused it doesn't show the record only other people who may have added this person i think.

Same problem here, I am a gold member. Cannot afford to pay for another site when I have recently renewed GR. Cannot search for any births - getting very annoyed now.

Eugene

Eugene Report 11 Oct 2010 22:12

Yes FreeBMD not easy. For births click info then down to
Scan available . Click here to view
Then down to View the original document in sometimes a choice of files to download
For marriages click on page to view possible brides.

Brian when you get a result on free bmd click on the blue number , that will give all on that page with a possible partner.

Brian

Brian Report 11 Oct 2010 22:31

i will have another go and look for that blue number cheers

Brian

Brian Report 12 Oct 2010 00:48

i did that eugene but the image came up in windows media and crashed my computer.
the other thing is i use this site trailing through birth docs 1 quarter to the next and have found it works well and paying the 36 pound per six months i dont want to try a more difficault way of searching.
but thanks for your help i will give it one more go

Brian

Brian Report 12 Oct 2010 00:54

i know your probably trying to advice me to use a free site rather than paying but i have got nowhere tonight.
and i guess that people who use this site find it easier even though it's not free.
but i will consider using the free sites and reading between the lines from what your saying i may later because the goalposts do change on here.
