Findmypast this Friday

I have just spent my full 90 minutes with no problems. I was amazed - my own internet connection didn't cut off either.
I'll send FindMyPast an email to thank them (I sent them one pointing out last Saturday's problems, so it's only fair).
I'll make out a list of what to look for ready for the next match.

Thanks angelfish, it worked at the beginning, but towards 60min it was 0 results again. Hope I am luckier next time.

I couldn't get on the site last saturday, the new offer is great.

You get 90 minutes free any time between 9am today Fri 18th and 9am Sat 20th, thats UK time.

You need to be registered.

I had a list of 1911s I wanted and have successfullydownloaded them all.

Great offer.

Perfect I've done all my 1911 census returns and it's just as fast as normal.

I found one interesting occupation which I thought was an odd mixture - Architect and Surgeon - he turned out to be an Architect and Surveyor  A lot of the transcription leaves much to be desired.

Very frustrating last week. Managed to get 4 1911's this time , almost trouble free (couple of 0 matches, but worked out in the end).

Very pleased. FindMyPast did a good thing

It's a bit like being a kid in a sweet shop and deciding what to go for first.

As usual it has thrown up as many queries as it has answered:

1) I have someone who is on the 1911 Canadian census and but who is also on the 1911 British census.  Is that a first?

2) A couple I who I thought had two children but they were living with their parents are now claiming that they have no children.  So who are the parents of the two children then?

3) Two elederly widows living together as wife and wife in 1911?

It will probably resolve itself in time but for now I am suffering from information overload.

Canadian one was 1st June. English one 2nd April. So Possible.

3) Two elederly widows living together as wife and wife in 1911?

Maybe they still considered themselves wives of their dead husband's?
