Sorry, it's me again! That aged i-pad now won't perform with i-message. Asked for the Apple ID to continue using i-message, duly supplied BUT we get the message "unable to contact the i-message server". Now what?

I find doing ancestry searches that a great uncle, Cyril Bishop, was a milkman in 1939 but also in the AFC. He lived somewhere by the Beaufort cinema. Later I remember him in the "proper" fire service based at Wash Lane which I understand closed down a good while ago. He was born in 1907 so I...

I-pad is switched to auto update, there are no "prompts" outstanding. Is it just too old?

Advice please. My wife has an i-pad which works on system 16. She has used it to buy on e-bay for ages, but e-bay now insist that she does an update which it seems needs her i-pad to have system 17. Surely there must be a fix? ps please keep any advice simple!

Best Wishes! 90. Nice to have someone who makes me appear young.

Did you get to correct it on Ancestry(how?) or do you mean in your own records. I notice in some instances you can get to see marriage certificates and in others not, is there a date cut off?

I certainly don't mind, I've spent too many hours on Ancestry since your reply just looking at George Kirby and I am not usually obsessive, in fact "it's near enough" could be my epitaph. Still not sure!
