I have just logged into our library and it has ancestry at home until April 2020 - might be worth checking yours.

Thank you for the heads up. Just tried my library website and I have access to full Ancestry too (this is for Bromley libraries). Very useful in the coming 12 weeks of strict isolation (hubby is on the very vulnerable list). I have a sub to the UK Ancestry but Worldwide will be very useful. Must dig out all my queries now.

I have just re read what it says - and it says it is ancestry offering it:
"Ancestry are offering library members access to the Library Edition from home until April 30th 2020.
Click here to log in with your library card number and PIN."

If it's any help to other members, I just logged into my library website and there was a large note on the front page that stated Ancestry could be used from my own computer at home. I just clicked on the link on the library web page and it took me straight into the library edition of Ancestry.

I reported the error to my library, and they have got back to Ancestry and it is all fixed now.
I think it may mean that everyone has access now - as Herts CC is working too, so give it a try.Carolyn

log into your library and get to the page where it lists ancestry with a link that you would use in the library and I think it will take you through to the site.Carolyn

I have it confirmed that Ancestry is free in all libraries that have a subscription. so if you were able to access in the library you can now access worldwide at home until 30th April.
Now that they have fixed it yesterday it should work.Carolyn

I reckon it is worth an ask they soon had it sorted at my library (Bedfordshire), and it is ancestry that is doing the offer. I don't have worldwide, so will take a wander around in case there is something new.Carolyn

https://arena.westsussex.gov.uk/web/...-local-history - has Findmypast at home now apparently, but not including the British Newspapers.
I've not found a link to ancestry there yet.
Yes I have but not at home?

I've just had an email from West Sussex Library:
Time to do some family history research?
Here is some more good news! We can now temporarily offer all library members free access to FindMyPast from home! Please contact the library Enquiries Team for more details. If you're not already a library member it's easy to join online.
We have a great range of free family and local history resources to help with your research.Caroline

I wonder why you have to contact West Sussex libraries, and why you can't just log on?
