Sorry to be so pathetic but as usual have tied myself in knots trying to understand how to access these records.
I received an email in this morning from A.... saying click on this link. I then typed in my christian and surname,
year and place of birth then a page comes up saying click for free access. That takes me to a page asking to sign up
for a free trial with a credit card. So I then went to my account (I am a guest of a worldwide member) to see if I can
access my Hints but can't plus the page is down for technical reasons.
Please can someone give me an idiot's guide to what I am meant to do - this always seems to happen. Even when I
struggled to get to the library it was nigh impossible to sign in..
with thanks Jill

I don't understand why you are putting in your name and birth details.
Just log in to ancestry.co.uk with your username or email as well as your password. Are you already a registered user?

Click on the link given here and it will take you to a search page. I tried whilst logged out of my own account and it brought up details I asked for without requiring further log-in.

I logged out and was taken to the page you are talking about with name, birth year and place. That is not for your details but the ancestor you are searching for. When you fill that in and click on 'search free' you should get a pop up box that asks for your email address and says - A username and password will be emailed to you.

Thanks SUE and
DUNDEE Now I feel an idiot, but never mind - live and learn!
Very many thanks. I typed in details of my gm and up comes possibles for her and not the pop up box, presumably
as I am a guest member.
So guess I need to go to my Tree and go to Hints and then cross reference with free access although I note
there's no means of saving it - ie a census came up nor for cancelling the Hint
