i suppose some of you have recieved this, but for those that havnt


             
 

       
   
SERVICE UPDATE: The 1911 Census will beavailable on subscription from October 
 
Dear #FirstName#,

 
We hope that you’ve been enjoying using the 1911 Census: we  are delighted to let you know that following the completion of the final  records in June, we are now preparing to make it available as a new  subscription package on our sister website, findmypast.com.

 
Final preparations are underway, and the census  will be available online on the findmypast.com website from October 21st, allowing  you to search the records at your leisure. 1911census.co.uk will continue to  operate as a PayAsYouGo website.

 
A census like no other – the most valuable new resource  available to family historians
 
In case you haven’t used the 1911 Census recently, a quick  reminder of why it is of such immense use to family historians:

 
   
It’s the first census where there is a form for  every household rather than just a street-by-street summary: you get to see  your ancestor’s own handwriting, and more information about your ancestors is  recorded than ever before
   
Over 10 times larger than the 1901 census – because  every household schedule has survived, there are 18 million images to view
   
Glorious technicolour images – it’s the first  census to be scanned in colour and at ultra-high quality, making the original  images much easier to read
   
More personal details to help you build your  tree – the 1911 Census provides information that wasn’t recorded before: number  of years married, children born to the marriage, children living and deceased.  Often, your ancestors have made mistakes on the form which can give you even  more clues to tracking down family members
   
It’s the most recent census to be released – the  1921 Census won’t be released until 2021, so this is your best chance to find  recent (in some cases, still living!) relatives
     
 
Don’t just take our word for it, remind yourself by viewing  sample images on the 1911census.co.uk website.

 
Subscribe to the 1911 Census, for the price of  viewing just 15 records
 
The 1911 Census on findmypast.com will be free to search. If you’re planning to  look at more than a few records, findmypast.com's new 1911 subscription makes great sense.

 
An annual subscription to the 1911 Census is £59.99 – the  equivalent of viewing 15 transcripts and images (using PayAsYouGo Credits).

 
We  also have a 6 month subscription at £39.99 – the equivalent of viewing 10  records. If you only want to view a handful of records, you can still use  PayAsYouGo credits.

 
Combine the 1911 Census with a findmypast.com Explorer subscription and save 20% 
 
If you want to add the 1911 Census subscription to findmypast.com’s  Explorer subscription, we will give you 20% off the combined price, giving  you 12 months’ access to findmypast.com for just £119.95 (instead of £149.90  separately) or 6 months’ access for £74.95 (instead of £94.90), for a limited  period.

 
Just choose the “Explorer and 1911” option at the checkout when the subscription becomes available and your discount will be automatically applied.

 
Why subscribe to findmypast.com?
 
Now is perfect time to consider a subscription to  findmypast.com. As well as being the only family history website to offer the  1911 Census on subscription, combining it with findmypast.com’s comprehensive  Explorer subscription gives you the best chance of finding your ancestors  in over 500 years of historical records. You’ll get:

 
   
The most complete set of Birth, Marriage and  Death records available on the internet – awarded the Queens’ Award for  Enterprise
   
The most accurate set of censuses 1841-1901,  and the only place to get the 1911 Census
   
The largest Parish Record collection online
   
Millions of other records that aren’t available  elsewhere – see what an Explorer subscription gives you access to
     
 
Plus you have our ongoing commitment to provide you with the  most accurate records available and superior customer support by phone, email  and online.

 
   We hope that the 1911 Census subscription will provide you  with an excellent new way to extend your research at a reasonable price: if you  have any questions, please contact our Customer Support team who will  be, as always, happy to help you.

 
   Look out for our next email confirming the launch of the  1911 Census, and including your 20% discount on a combined Explorer and 1911  subscription.

 
   And, a final reminder – your 1911census.co.uk sign in  details will work on findmypast.com – so you won’t even need to register again,  and you can also spend any unused credits on the millions of other records on findmypast.com.

 
We hope the new 1911 subscription will take you even further in your family history research.

 
Best Wishes,

 
The 1911census.co.uk and findmypast.com teams   

 
looks fine to me and the price isn't too bad in my opinion

perth :)

Hm.  I'm 6 months into a full subscription to Find My Past so I'll be interested to see how much it will cost.

I'm a bit disappointed that I have to pay extra though.  Ancestry didn't charge extra for the LMA images.

not on release they didn't, but had the foresight sometime before they added various records to alter the subscriptions, and those on the lower packages lost access to parish records and any new additions,
and on renewal those on the higher packages prices went up, like FindMyPast you have to decide if worth it,
i subscribe to both and think each has one the other doesn't and am happy to keep with both,
some who may only want scarce info' i can understand either maybe to expensive ;)

It still works out cheaper than visiting numerous record offices around the world to have both subs!  ::) ;D

Ancestry raised their subscription rates in anticipation of the LMA records going online.  They didn't have all that much good pre-1837 stuff (apart from Pallots) to warrant such an increase for their 'new' Premium rate subscription, but they knew the LMA records were imminent.  So yes, Ancestry has in effect charged extra.

I was told when ancestry did increase the number of subscriptions from 2 to 3 that this was more to do with few people paying the extra for the worldwide subscription because it was over £100 more expensive than the normal UK subscription.  As a consequence they reduced worldwide by £50 and split the UK into two separate ones, increasing the price for the premium subscription.  Now cynic that I am, did wonder if this had anything to do with the LMA images but perhaps there is some truth in what I was told.  At £150 the worldwide isn't that much more expensive than the premium for £107 and the basic, while at £200 instead of £89 it was a lot more expensive.  I just hope they don't hike the prices up too much next year ....

Even £150 is cheaper than trying to get to London regularly to the LMA from Birmingham, which worked out about £40-£45 minimum each time in transport costs. :D

However, I can appreciate that for anyone without an interest in London, the premium is a bit expensive.

i think you have every right to be a Cynic,
i am pretty sure a LOT will have upgraded when LMA came live,
they also stated they wanted to make sure that people paying were getting the records they wanted,
i am sure thats what they did when they joined, but then some records were taken away,
what was the uk package now does not contain London records ::)

Point taken.  I know that it's expensive to transcribe the records.

I didn't know that Ancestry has jiggled with it's rates though.  I managed to get it half price a couple of months ago and my sister paid for it for my birthday.  I expect I will pay for the 1911 too.

I have some unusual names in my tree, but also some really common ones, so it's useful to be able to plough through the possibles with an unlimited subscription rather than pay as you go.

I might try another trip to the LMA (I'm fairly close) and see how much quieter it is these days. :)

I've given up on FindMyPast.  I'd finally decided to take out a sub for the 1911. I tried the search free option to see what I'd be getting but STILL couldn't get past the "fill in the boxes" section because of the 'enabling cookies" thing. I tried all the options suggested and also contacted FindMyPast (no help whatsoever). Looks like I'll just have to wait........
