I've been logged in all day, but have been away from the computer for a couple of hours.
On checking now, I find I'm still logged in and can search for things with no problem.

However, there's a message at the top of the page:

"Note: You may be experiencing some intermittent service with the Ancestry.co.uk website. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. "

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

I know what you mean - my first reaction is to question myself ;-)

I've been using it virtually all day until about an hour ago with no problems

I've just checked - and this is the message on my screen

This site can’t be reached
The web page at https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/5066/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

I think we'll just have to wait..............................
