Absolutety useless tonight - If you advertise free looks ups on 1911 census you should make sure that your server can cope- it clearly cannot . Does this break any advertising laws/trades description acts as you are advertising a service that you are not able to provide.

SORT IT OUT

Couldn't get anything to load until 6.30, couldn't find anything new at all, managed to verify a couple of unsures, then got the maintenance message for most of the last half hour.

I had 6 but half way through I lost 5 mins due to essential maintainance at GR. Never mind it was worth it, am now going to go and peruse the print outs and have a cuppa. It did get slower as I went on and I got frustrated, the dog took off, she thought I was grumbling at her. Elaine.

Must say thanks Genes for what we got better something than nothing. Being on a small income every penny counts. Elaine.
