Ignore the 'Last names A & B currently' under the surname search box and enter any surname.....Mine worked for Elcock!!

Right I've had a play now.... It looks as if you get the list for the surname but not neccessarily the images for an individual name at the moment. I got a list for the surname Elcock and images for George Elcock but when I tried for another Elcock images I got the 'page cannot be displayed' message...This happened for other surnames too. So it looks as if it is an ongoing update. Chris

Ooh, thanks Chris, that's great! I got the index AND the image for my grandma's brother, and his surname was North.

Still playing ;) If you get the message 'Page cannot be displayed' try again....It usually comes up on a second go! Have now had a few 'Image cannot be processed' messages and they really don't want to come up :( I have found two of my GGrandfathers and they had children I never knew existed. That along with birth and, for some, baptism dates I am in seventh heaven!!!! :) Chris
