Well, I was lucky that I got in about a week before they restructured the UK subs and they promised anyone with the old UK sub would continue to get the "premium" records until renewal when they would have to upgrade. So Ive got up to September. Im disappointed with the LMA stuff so far. |

What is misleading is that it was on the TV this evening with Tony Robinson saying he had found his grtx something grandad who was in the workhouse as one of the staff(cant remember what he called his title something to do with Lunatics) any way they had someone there from Ancestry and it was stated that the subs were around £80 plus pounds but what good value it was, Well I was upgraded/downgraded!!! when I renewed in Oct last and paid £84 plus from the last sub of £79.95 and I lost access to things like Pallots and you cant see these new records on that subs . SO VERY misleading implying you could now see the records for around the £80plus sub |

They said they were working on it frantically :) so hopefully it will be sorted. They are only releasing in batches arent they. Not much of any use to me at the moment, bit too late for my missing ones. |

I don't think the records are complete because I couldn't find my grandfather's birth which was in the workhouse at Southwark in 1870. I know the records are at the LMA because a kind GR member got me copies from there a few years ago. |

Hi Heather, I'm on the old subs and I've just been looking for my lot on there with no problem. Perhaps they've already sorted the problem. I'm a bit disappointed though as I couldn't find a workhouse death from 1900. Guess St Leonards Shoreditch doesn't come under London. :-( |

Ive just rung ancestry and after a long time have been asked by the supervisor to apologise to all members with the old UK membership before the restructured subs who have been told they have to upgrade to see the new records. |
