Okay. I don't see that it's any big deal to put it (unless it's very
long) and it may work for some even if it's not perfect. I never
wanted to imply that anyone *HAD* to put the full url. I was only
telling about why you might want to. No guarantees, but there's
something easier to possibly to shoot for if the original is not in an
easy location. Also I was only addressing the question as to why we
would put the access date and why that is different and more useful
than an access date for a library or other, more physical repository.
I think putting the full url is more useful for somethings and not so
useful for others.

Using the URL of an Ancestry image -- whether it's a census image or

An online image, with few exceptions, came from somewhere -- a book,
microfilm, etc. -- and you *can* go to the original to find it. A
database, on the other hand, isn't really a source, it's a finding
aid.
Including the date a URL was accessed doesn't really mean anything
-- other than the that the web page "worked" on that day
