What! The 1939 Register For Free!

[barryd]

To use the American Vernacular I would say that possibly the 1939 Register is "hurting". Possibly quite a few people  have exhausted their need for the site. I have used it and am very pleased with the results.

Ps. I have a partial knowledge of the Australian Language and Cockney Rhyming Slang but am far from fluent in either.

Hi,

Well I received my email after I got back from Stafford archives yesterday and I've changed to automatic renew.

I can't afford to take up an annual sub so only buy monthly and that's a bit hit and miss, I've just looked at my account and at the moment I'm on a world wide monthly but that was because I got it half price.  So it looks like this will only be available to people who can afford to cough up for an annual subscription, what about those of us who can't? 

(I also subscribe to Ancestry monthly and have a 3 month sub left with The Genealogist)

I wonder if local library services who give access to FindMyPast will now be able the 1939 register to their users? Might be worth checking out

Bee, I assume you purchased a 4 month thegenealogist subscription for £40?  FindMyPast have had numerous half price 12 month Britain or World subs in the last year or so.  Admittedly more World recently than Britain, but there was a Britain offer recently too which was only £10 more than the offer of 4 months for thegenealogist and far better value in my personal opinion.

At some point, as with the 1911 Census, the 1939 Register will probably get added to monthly subs but was never likely to happen at the start because, at the very least, of the numerous £1 per 1 month offers they have had in recent years.  They wouldn't be recouping any money that way.  When the 1911 Census was first added FindMyPast didn't have 1 month subs, only 6 or 12 month ones.

Doesn't your email say "we are giving you unlimited access to ... The 1939 Register" in the first line?

Can't see why the currency you used to purchase your subscription should make any difference to that

Yes, it does say that in the first line, so hopefully it will be ok - I'll soon find out on 16th Feb! Thanks for the reassurance!

Thank you smudwhisk, I will be looking into it.  I'm dropping The Genealogist when this sub runs out as they barely have any records I'm interested in.  Though their search engine for censuses by street name or families is pretty good admittedly.
