Free 1901 and 1911 census? COMPLETED
« on: Monday 25 March 13 11:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone. I thought I saw a TV ad at the weekend for free access to 1901 and 1911 census until 1st April. Was I dreaming or did anyone else see this? ???

Hi
No you weren't dreaming, I saw it last night on an ad for Ancestry although it doesn't seem to be correct. I have just tried both 1901 & 1911 but no access without a sub. ???

Hi,

Yes, that is what they are advertising - free access to all areas - you have to sign up to view.

Sorry the link is not taking you to the advert for some reason.

Trying again :- http://www.ancestry.co.uk/

I think it says in very small print 29th March to 2nd April. Bottom left hand corner of the TV screen. So, it is for Easter. Take a close look when it is on again.
