Society of Genealogists datasets no longer available on Origins

[arabrab]

I have just noticed that British Origins no longer offer access to the following Society of Genealogists datasets
Apprentices of Great Britain 1710-1774
Bank of England Will Extracts Index
Boyds Marriage Index 1538-1840
Boyd's Inhabitants of London and Boyd's Family Units
Boyd's London Burials and St Leonard Shoreditch Burials
Marriage Licence Allegations Index 1694-1850
Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills Index
St Andrew Holborn Marriage Index 1754-1812
Teachers' Registrations
Trinity House Calendars 1787-1854
Presumably their 10 year trial period has concluded. Does anyone know how or if these datasets will be available in the future? Origins suggest contacting the SOG but it is  closed for Christmas. Just wondered if anyone knows what will happen next?

If you have a current subscription, they are still available for searching until renewal according to the website and I've been searching on Boyds today.  Last time I looked on the SOG website there was no indication as to whether they will be hosting them in their member's area which I would imagine may be why Origins have lost the hosting.

My current subscription runs out this week . I just thought I would like to know what was happening before I decided whether to renew.

I have just found the answer to my question.

Most of the above data sets are now on Findmypast according to the blog I just received.

According to the latest SOG magazine everything which was available on British Origins will be on the SOG website members' area in 2011 but they do say that FindMyPast have some of it too.
