Good News ! 1911 Census!

Am I missing something here? If the 1911 site is ppv, there will  be no point in subscripbing to FindMyPast. I was intending to drop Ancestry next year & join FindMyPast, but there seems no need now

I did just that a month ago BECAUSE I thought it would INCLUDE the new 1911 Census. How wrong I was. However, I only want to look up one address that I knew who lived there in 1910. If you've followed my searches, your know where that is.

I think they've made a silly move - I was contemplating getting full membership of FindMyPast too, but there doesn't seem a lot of point now.  Although I wasn't going to let my Ancestry membership lapse.  Instead FindMyPast might get a few quid out of me for a few detailed searches.  Seems like bad marketing to me.

I've been a full member of FindMyPast for about a year now, before that I had bought PPV credits and I have 32 left that I have been meaning to email FindMyPast about.  However now I know what I can use them on 

Depending on what they charge of course

I think I've got 218 credits that are still hanging around from before they offered subs - that's a lot  of census images

...as long as they don't put a expirery date on them BEFORE the 1911 Census pops up!

I've been holding on to mine for over a year and the expiry date runs concurrent with my subscription

I don't think so because they are carried forward with the subscription renewal.

Units all have an expiry date, however if you purchase a new subscription or price plan before the expiry of the outstanding one, your remaining units will be carried forward to your new expiry date.

Yes, but just one snag - your credits are with FindMyPast, and the 1911 census is going to be hosted on www.1911census.co.uk

Nick from the  1911 website ( www.1911census.co.uk  ):

The National Archives is delighted to announce that brightsolid has been awarded the contract to digitise the 1911 census for England and Wales. brightsolid's genealogy subsidiary Find My Past will be making the census available online through a dedicated website at 1911census.co.uk, as well as through its own site at findmypast.com.

I hope their information is correct, Gadget 

I was thinking about taking out a FindMyPast sub myself, but having a dedicated 1911 site has put me off somewhat.
