Welp...... that's my weekend lost to that website! ;D
Thanks for the heads up!
-
My weekend too. ;D
Welcome.

Thanks for the link - I've spent a pleasurable time downloading Scottish articles
I'm now having fun trying to obtain results for Norfolk, England instead of Norfolk USA :D
-
Just marking for tomorrow 😁 thank you!

Hot dog! I always find good stuff.

Thanks dbree, you pipped me to the post, but I'll just add (a) that it ends 12:59pm MT, which I make to be 6:59am on Tuesday 20th and (b) the usual warning for free periods to save anything of interest on your own device, as you'll need a sub to see it after the offer closes.
Also, just about to end (sorry, I got diverted and failed to post it sooner)
Free Access to MyHeritage worldwide marriage and divorce records until 17th. No time specified and that could mean the start or end of Saturday (probably also MT), i.e. 6:59 am Saturday or Sunday.
Introduction (https://blog.myheritage.com/2024/02/unlock-the-love-stories-in-your-family-this-valentines-day/)
Collection catalogue (https://www.myheritage.com/research/catalog/category-2020/marriage-divorce)
Use the refine option on the left to find specific countries or dates.
Search form (https://www.myheritage.com/research/category-2020/marriage-divorce)
Scroll down for links to England & Wales searches.
At a quick glance, the records available appear to be rather selective, so don't expect to find everybody, or much more than's on FreeBMD at all times.

Welcome rosie17 :)
Thanks Chris for the added info :)

Good job I had no plans for the weekend ;D ;D
Thank you :)

Thank you so much. I've just found the death of my grandfather's sister. She was only 19. Everyone said she had been run over by a cart....well it turns out she commited suicide by swallowing carbolic acid!

Managed to fill in some blanks and got side tracked as you do ::) I concentrated on my Canadian and US relatives and feel it was a productive weekend.. even managed to find quite a few photos.
I need to keep a look out for the next free weekend / offers.
Did anyone use newspapers.com for UK papers? Did you have much luck?

Used a subscription for years purely to help others, success has been more likely in the USA, Canada etc but on fewer occasions for the UK. Not all counties/areas are covered at the moment.
