    Does anyone know what happened to this website and all its IPM transcriptions?

    Yes, sorry I should have attached the main URLs. But from your answer, are you NOT seeing an error page?

    I have been seeing "This site can’t be reached" for a couple of days.

    OTOH, if anyone can help, I wanted to double check the 1491 IPMs for Elizabeth Straunge. The calendar is on BHL so the basics are fine, but other records are clashing with the remark that Thomas, the father of her heiresses, is called her son so I really
    wanted to check the wording on that one "little" point. I know the "mapping" website gave corrected wordings sometimes.

    Can anyone help? I suppose that best of all would be to see scans. But there are very few IPMs on AAALT and I think Familysearch scans of IPMS can only seen in a family history centre. Anyone have access?

    Her husband (also Thomas) died in 1436 (although his memorial says 1426) but it seems no IPM survived. His Warwickshire will has survived but only mentions two illegitimate sons and an unmarried daughter. I suppose wills did not always need to mention
    legitimate heirs, but the younger Thomas died 1485, still unknighted, and his will also survives. He calls Elizabeth his grandmother and refers to his mother Ann Castell. (I have scans of the two wills.)

    Regards
    Andrew

    I am not seeing this - seems to be working fine for me.

    This is too recent for the MMC site. If you browse all by inquisition date, the most recent present in 1454.

    The only entries I have seen at FamilySearch are for the published books. If they have images of the originals, do you have a URL for the catalog entry? If just the books, then the volumes for Henry VII are readily available online, with the volume for
    the relevant date range being: https://books.google.com/books?id=xPMLAQAAMAAJ (but it will be the same text as the transcript at BHO).

    I too can see it. Try clearing your browser cache and/or try a
    different browser. If the problem persists raise it with your ISP.
