Bought a bundle of records for my nan's side of the family and got loads of results straight away. The scans were clear on my phone and I saved them all to my account. Saw a lot of stuff I didn't expect too, so I'm chuffed.
Read moreCompared with a free archive I'd used before, this was a lot more expensive for the same records. The search did find what I wanted but I would have expected a better price for the amount you get. I'd only use it again if I couldn't find the record anywhere else.
Read moreI purchased access to probate calendars to look for a great uncle's will, which was the main reason I signed up. The search itself took a good while to return results for the surname I was after, and I had to repeat several queries before I found the entry. Once I did, the transcription was accurate and useful. It would have been helpful if the search had been a little quicker.
Read moreDecent enough for what I needed, found my gran's marriage record on the phone on the bus. Search could be quicker though, had to retype a surname three times. Price is a bit steep for a few days.

The search part is fine and the records were what I expected. What stood out was how long it took to cancel my subscription when I wanted to stop, I had to ring up and wait on hold. Found the records useful at the time.
I'm afraid the records I was hoping for weren't there, and I'd been led to believe they would be. The site is perfectly usable but I did find it rather expensive for what I got.
