The new Findmy past offer has been announced
see

Now one has one and a half hours at any time during the period 9am UK time on Friday, June 18 and 9am Saturday, June 19.

That is another generous offer and should alleviate many of the access problems.

Well done Findmypast.

Ooooh that looks better  Perhaps I can tidy up some of those missing 1911 census returns this time. It was so frustrating the first time.

I tried to take advantage of this offer but I couldn't get on the site! 

[Guy Etchells]

If anyone has not used Findmypast before or was unsuccessful last week I suggest they log in to findmypast today and give the system a try.

Searches on the 1881 census are free so it is the perfect database to try and check you have registered and understand the search techniques.
Note you will be able to search and get the transcribed return only. Not the original image.
Any problems can be ironed out before the free session.
Cheers

I knew it was too good to be true.

I'm still trying to work out whether you can only use the free 90 minute period when:
(a) England are actually playing a football match or
(b) is 90 minutes just the length of time it takes to play a football match and you can use it any time on those specific dates?  In which case, how about injury time and extra time so we can bump it up to 2 hours or more?

[Sloe Gin]

There will be no extra time played in England's next two matches as the tournament has not yet reached the knock-out stages.  After that it is a possibility, if England have gained enough points to progress - to do so, they must finish first or second in their group.

Hope that helps.
