I’m having mixed results with this.

Like others, I am disappointed that more information is not available.

I am looking for my father (b1917, d1993).  I now understand that, because he died after 1991, his record will be closed.

However, he does not come up in the name search and, as I have no idea at all where he was living or who with, I am afraid that I will not be able to find him.

Am I right in assuming this, or is there another way?

If you have a look here it sounds as if they will search for someone for you if you can provide enough additional information along with the death certificate

My father and his brother who both died long before 1991 appear to have been redacted anyway.  I do have both death certificates though.

Every record I've looked at so far has a transcription error  :-X

I like the map that pinpoints the address - very helpful.

No more till Friday now. (Credit card statement date  ;D ;D ;D)

Just popped in to say I like the way the transcriptions are laid out. I hope they can do something similar for all the censuses at some point.

I think the problem is not so much what FindMyPast is charging but that internet research has distorted people's ideas of justified charges.

Like any business Findmypast can charge whatever they think the punters will pay. I never thought that this would be included in the subscription but I was expecting the cost to be about the same as the 1911 census was when it was new.  I suspect I am not alone in this.

The 90 days time limit is a blooming cheek though. >:(

My last post was maybe a bit too cryptic  ;D
So here's the link to the current Quidco offer of  £6 cashback when you buy 300 credits. Topcashback has the same offer.

They may have to send a few more codes out at least.

If you check your favourite cashback site you may find they already have  ;)

Interesting.

Here's the link BB was telling us about:
https://blog.findmypast.co.uk/how-to-search-the-1939-register-1426317472.html

I came back to post this but I see you've beaten me to it.
It looks as if we'll be able to extract a fair amount of information by being 'clever' with the search functions.

I can't work out if it's one coupon for one bundle or if the discount will apply as many times as you want. I'd like to get all my grandparents and great grandparents (and one great great who was still alive). Anyone else will have to wait.

A email just dropped into my inbox with the date:

I'm being promised a coupon for 25% off the 5 household bundle for being a subscriber and a 10% off coupon for having signed up for the email early.
