Just lookingat Find My Past sub for the 1921 and all other records - they are offering a half price sub for about £8.47 per month. Presumably this is for a year but does seem to be a very good offer. Has anyone taken up this offer and is it that good. I do a one name study and wonder whether they restrict your time of using it. Please can I have your view on this. Best wishes. Denzil.

If your local public library has free access to Ancestry, you don't need to pay the extra subscription to FindMyPast as you get the 1921 Census as part of the Ancestry Institution package.

The libraries in East Yorkshire have free access to both Ancestry and Findmypast

At my local library it's called Ancestry Library Edition?
Is it the same thing?

Yes, I have taken advantage of the "special offer" from FindMyPast.
Only downside is that it is billed in one lump annually, ie 99 pounds and not the 8.47 per month.
To answer your question, there are absolutely no restrictions on the amount of usage.
Their website states that the offer is available for a limited time only, without actually stating a date of expiry.
It's certainly the cheapest offer from FindMyPast that I have ever seen.
I believe people have been complaing about the subscription costs.
Ancestry has had for a few years running a similar offer of all access for 89 pounds and also has the 1921 Census available.
Ask here on Rootschat for the current link to the offer

Reply #2 "The libraries in East Yorkshire have free access to both Ancestry and Findmypast"
Many library services have this access, but the Library Editions exclude access to members' trees and possibly a few other things. However they are well worth using. Just make a "to do" list beforehand and take a memory stick to copy your downloads.

It's not all access, it's world membership.
No military, no newspapers . Not worth it.

Hi
Sorry if this is quibbling, but the military and newspaper records you refer to are distinct and separate websites....even if the records are provided by Ancestry.
