Managed to find plenty of London records that are on ancestry this weekend and not on FindMyPast, well pleased.  Thank you ancestry.

Hi Jim

FindMyPast have the City of Westminster registers deposted at the Westminster Archives.

Ancestry has the London & Middlesex registers deposited at the London Metropolitan Archives.

That's why you may need access to both.


Check out your local library to see if they have free inhouse access to Ancestry Library Edition where you can access the London records.

Hi Dawn

unfortunately my local library has decided for the last couple of years to go with FindMyPast, so with ancestry being free over the weekend was great for me.

Looks as if that might be only if you haven't used FindMyPast before "We're offering new visitors to findmypast a fantastic deal to help you start your journey."

I tried to get the 50 but was refused because I already have a sub to FindMyPast :(

Some others have said they had previously enjoyed free credits and also managed to get more on this offer.  ::)
