1911 census

However it is our understanding that the exclusive licence issued to Brightsolid/Findmypast as the sole online provider will last only 6 months from the final content launch.

Once the full exclusive licence has been operating for 6 months other online providers will have the opportunity to purchase the scanned images and get a licence to provide their own indexes

No wonder they charged like a wounded bull during the Beta, and are releasing it in stages .....

agree - I doubt whether you'll see it on subscription anywhere (including FindMyPast) until 2011

according to the 1911 'blog', they are saying later in 2009 .....

some cracking comments there too   

Yes, but if you read the final paragraph it becomes clear that the "all you can eat" option including the 1911 census is very likely to be dearer than the current subs.

Read the search tips for looking on 1911 (on here); there are several ways to search more creatively.

The point was about WHEN a subscription for the 1911 would be available - not how much it would cost .

but if you read the final paragraph it becomes clear that the "all you can eat" option including the 1911 census is very likely to be dearer than the current subs.

 


and it doesnt seem surprising that it would cost more 

[Nick29]

I think it will be quite surprising to some who have bought subs to FindMyPast expecting to get free access to the 1911 census

Rather than starting a new thread, has anyone got any idea when Glamorgan is likely to appear transcribed - rather typically, all mine (so far) are from Glamorgan or Ireland, and so my brick walls are going no-where at this point in time

Yes, - this applies to me too...:-(

(With Glamorgan at any rate.)

I've written to them asking when it'll be available, but haven't had a reply as yet.

I reckon you are only talking a matter of a few months because on their blog site they say they will be introducung a subscription service later in 2009 (on findmypast.com) and that they won't do that until all the counties have been made available

[halfasheep]

ah lovely - I assumed they probably wouldn't be too long getting the county on board.

I'll finally be able to find out where gt gt grandad Hughes came from (and hopefully his correct age because I'm certain he lied on his marriage cert!).

I know it'll solve a few brick walls for me, but no doubt will open up a number of new ones
