A very wide range of different records besides censuses and the BMD indexes help add meat to the bones of your ancestors.
The criminal record registers are very interesting for a general browse and to further your own knowledge of social history. Even some mug shots which are quite amazing to view even if you don't have a criminal ancestor yourself.
I've been able to smash a few brick walls I've not been able to on the most famous site. Thoroughly recommended.
