Hi there
Can someone please tell me where I can access the 1871 census for England? I've tried 1837online but I can't find it anywhere.
thanks
fiona

Fiona you can do pay per view on Ancestry too

Hi Tracy
Do you know what happens with the pay per view once your time is up or you've used up your credits? Reason I ask is I've recently heard a couple of horror stories regarding ancestry etc where folk have had difficulty contacting them to cancel their subs etc. I know of one person who eventually had to change their bank details because of it.

Have a look here Fiona - various experiences with Ancestry recounted :

I haven't used pay per view, but I'd have thought once your credits were up that would be an end of it. I think it's the subscriptions that can cause problems.

PS if you want to post details, I will have look on Ancestry for you.

I never had a problem with them. As all you want is pay per view there should be no problem as your credits are only going to last a short time anyway. Even if you were thinking of going for the quarterly option i would still say go for it works out far cheeper. The reason most people have problems with Ancestry and cancelling - at the risk of another debate on this - is because they dont read the Terms and Conditions.

This http://www.uk1871census.com/ leads you on to the Genealogist. I think you can pay per view on that if you dont fancy Ancestry
