I thought the same as you Blue.

Also just found out that Findmypast's hints only work for BMD records so far... so no censuses.

A lot on findmypast is indeed free at the moment
Census transcriptions are available, not the images
Parish registers, the ones I have looked at i.e. Westminster, Devon, Cheshire - transcripts and images all free

It seems to be free for me - just logged in, and I don't have any credit at the moment, but I've been able to access a couple of records I'd normally have to pay for.  :)

Works for me on BMD's including images.

With Census, I can only view the transcript - Not image

Thank you Lidfam & also JonW65 for the bit about Westminster. I have just looked at the Westminster baptisms and found another child for a family I thought I had completed years ago! No doubt about it as he is baptised with a brother.

Seems he was born just after the 1851, away at school 1861 and then married at 19 so in his own household 1871 onwards. Survived to 1939 and probate is to his niece. This lark never fails to surprise.

Ok, So yesterday (Tuesday) it let me look at loads of things for free. Today, nothing. Every time it goes to the 'payment' page.  :-\ Why?
Is it supposed to be 'all week'? Til when?
