Thanks for pointing us to these records, John. I have a world wide subscription so no problem getting the records. I've had a grand old time today.

So, for an extra £24 each year, I can access these. I can justify that for the amount of names that I recognise there. My annual renewal is due in early September, so I will go for it.
- Essentials membership (£95.99 yearly) - no access to these records
- Premium membership (£119.99 yearly)
- Worldwide membership (£179.99 yearly)
- All access membership (£224.99 yearly)
All the best,

So ancestry up to their usual misrepresentation - it’s only free access to certain uk and irish records. Probably says that in the fine print somewhere. I must admit my Worldwide subscription ends soon and I was wondering about cancelling and just using the ‘free weekends offers’, but guess I will have to keep the subscription going.

Glad you have been having fun, always good when something new comes along and you get something out of it.
Cheers

Re: Records of paupers
So, if Ancestry have these digital records hidden away, for those and such as those, where are the actual records?
Would North Lanarkshire council have access to them in their libraries or archives somehow, could be worth finding out.

Looks like they are free to view at the North Lanarkshire Heritage Centre, High Road, Motherwell, ML1 3HU on Mondays to Fridays.

Oh that's good, for those 'on the ground' so to speak.
Don't think I've anyone from there mind you.

They are at the Heritage Centre in Motherwell and the archivist is extremely helpful.AndrewP wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 7:13 pmLooks like they are free to view at the North Lanarkshire Heritage Centre, High Road, Motherwell, ML1 3HU on Mondays to Fridays.

They also have digitised many of the lair records of the cemeteries in their area and these are also available at the Heritage Centre
