Tried Bowen 1858 to 1863, 1920 Nothing, decided to try Jones nothing, tried Smith nothing .. think there might be a problem with the system.

Are you on the wrong tab, Julie? See post #2 on this thread.

Only a little thing but annoying if you have lots of pages to trawl through: the 'next page/previous page link is at the top of each page. It should be at the bottom so you can just click straight on. I have used the feedback link to point that out to them.

This morning I have already received 10 e-mails reminding me that the will I ordered won't be viewable in a couple of days on the website and to download it if I haven't already!

I wonder how many more e-mails are to come!

Yes, aren't they irritating! I've had 3 for the same will, although it clearly shows on the site that I downloaded it immediately.

Mary, it's annoying. At least I haven't had any more now.

Tomorrow is the last day I can view the will.

In the past five minutes I have received 9 e-mails reminding me of the fact.

Thanks for this Elizabeth!

I'm just about to order a 1931 administration. Can I just leave the folio field blank or should I be able to find it somewhere else?

I would have said leave it blank, but I was reading something recently where they had claimed that it had to be filled in. I think it was in a "Lost Cousins" newsletter.

Yes, found it:

I don't know of anywhere else to find the folio number if it isn't on the calendar, and I have never given a folio number when ordering copies in the post. So hopefully you don't need it - but I would hate to get the blame if you lose money by ordering without it!

Thanks Kate.

This is actually one you looked up for me years ago, prior to the calendar going online. I only wanted it as there is a slight chance the relationship of the administrator will be given.

I think I'll take the gamble (I won't hold you responsible lol) and will report back.

I shall, of course, object in the strongest possible terms if they penalise me for the lack of a folio number!
