I can't find much in ours but having said that I am probably looking in the wrong one! Thank you, I will check what records HW library holds too.

You have to ask at the desk to use their PCs and they log you in. You can have access for about an hour for free.

Thank you G55 - I did not know that. I assumed there might be reference books.

You can actually use the Ancestry site itself - quite handy but take notes with you and make notes or ask if you can print out.

So I can actually view the records on Ancestry at the library because they have paid a subscription? I have Ancestry here but only free access so no actual records just leads, so to speak.
