It does look like they have access to only their own records on ancestry and not the full library edition, I know not every library has it. I don't have FMP in my local library, a reason why I joined Herts CC as they have it, and used to visit when I was taking husband to Lister hospital which is in Stevenage Herts. They were more than happy for me to join, I wonder how easy it is to join another library without visiting, not checked?
If you wouldn't mind posting a query/nudge on their Facebook page similar to what you've done for Dumfries and Galloway, It would be much appreciated...
Thanks for plugging away at this...

Lancs records are on ancestry and website seems to be saying that is how you can search them and access them. Do you know if you can view all records on Ancestry when in the library?
Will ask on FBCarolyn

I'm not sure what you mean by "only their own records" but I'm guessing you're referring to what they call their Red Rose Collection via Ancestry Institution which is for Lancashire records. However, there is also access to Ancestry worldwide via Institution. I used this regularly when the libraries were still open. I understand Ancestry Library Edition has an advantage in that you can view public trees, whereas you can't via the library's Institution sub.

"Do you have ancestry library edition at the library? is this accessible at home temporarily?"
and already got a reply:
"Hello. Not at the moment we are looking at the options. We will post on here when we have news."
So maybe they will do it soon.Carolyn

:(
I’m pleased to say we’ve managed to negotiate a way for Gateshead Libraries customers to access Ancestry remotely whilst libraries are closed. If you login to your library account here https://bit.ly/3dQ8mWb you will see a link near the top left of the page to take you to Ancestry.
Kind regards,
