I looked at the images from the beginning of the Deadmans. There are a couple with a christian name beginning with A, then it goes to a D christian name., Although Charles appears on the index he doesn't seem to be there. Sorry, I don't understand why! |

Odd, because I can see Charles Deadman. Says he was a hairdresser born in Worthing. Rose |

That is strange Rose. It also proves it isn't MY Charles - his details should be similar to his brother's as they served in the same regiment together. So it looks like my Charles' record isn't in that series at all, |

In May 1916 he was 31 years and 10 months and enlisted in Brighton. Rose |

Curiouser and curiouser. How strange that some of us can't open particular records while others can. It makes no sense at all! |

I think I may have an answer to this. I have just cleared all my cookies. I had to log back into Ancestry and, for some reason, the enhanced viewer now opens by default - funny thing is I can't remember having downloaded it and have certainly never used it before. In fact it is a wee bit of a nuisance as the image download times now take twice as long - or that could be Orange playing up again. Anyway, the Charles Deadman (definitely not my great-grandfather) images actually opened this time. So, if you can't view an image, try using the enhanced image viewer and see if that solves it.
