Ancestry are all at sixes and sevens

You could probably have written it out several times!
The 'automatedgenealogy' was even worse yesterday. I tried to look at the split view of the 1911 census and I could have made meal in the time it took to download.
Patience! patience!

Anyone else having trouble with Ancestry? For a couple of days now it has been very slow... now it refuses to do anything except display the home page. Very frustrating! As far as I know there are no new freebies going on.

Regards,

Hi Sarah,

Ancestry.co.uk is working fine just now, and has been when I have used it in the past few days.

All the best,

AndrewP

I've been using it pretty heavily for a while, researching English stuff, since my son-in-law's auntie found some old diaries.

Over the past few days it has still been playing up a bit, sometimes coming back with "cannot find" on items I looked at only minutes before (what can I say - I forget what I've looked at sometimes

).

It also seems to be a bit confused about opening the correct images, in censuses in my case. It does open the correct area, but usually on the page before or after the one my target is on.

Hi Mary,

I've been having the same "cannot find" problem for a few days now. If I hit the back button, then search again it usually goes through. Not a big deal, but it does slow things down!

It's just so irritating, Carol.

At my age you start wondering if you'd been seeing things

and the previous successful search was just the figment of a fuddled brain

Same here. It usually happens in the afternoon.
