Just to add to this - if you access any images, download them and save to your computer. That way they will always be available to view.

I remember when I first joined Ancestry on a reduced price offer, I did not download the images; I just linked them to my tree in Ancestry. When my subscription ended I let it lapse as it was no longer on offer. Even though I had actually paid for all the censuses etc, I could not view them until I renewed my subscription.

So even to this day, if it's important to me, I download it.
