What! The 1939 Register For Free!

[california dreamin]

I have an annual sub but haven't had an email yet -- is anyone else still waiting?

Hi Annie,
I've still not had mine either - however, I've been reading what other people have said and I'm getting a niggling feeling that I won't get one as although I've got an annual sub I 'unticked' the auto renew box....  But I'm pretty sure when I do renew I should get all the new benefits (well I hope so anyway!)

CD, if you have an annual sub you will get the access anyway.  FindMyPast's notice on Facebook confirmed that and also confirmed anyone with a new subscription after that date would get the access.  Its only those with monthly subs who won't get free access.  I know someone else with an annual sub who doesn't have auto-renew ticked but they got the email.  I think some of them may just get lost as its very hit and miss as to whether I get the Friday new records emails.  I wouldn't worry about it.

My auto renew was unticked and I got one. I don't think it matters though, as long as you have a year's subscription you will get the 1939 register thrown in with it.

Those of you who have not received the email, have you checked your spam tray? Sometime these things get caught by an over active filter system.

I think the auto-renew only affects the price-freeze and loyalty discount for the next subscription I.e. if you don't autorenew , you're starting a new sub at the higher price

Hopefully before that renewal date ever arrives there'll be a suitable offer that will push it ever further into the future

Thanks everyone for your replies.  I really would like to get an email so that I feel that I am valued

It's to be hoped they are set up for the flood of corrections.  I know of several already without having purchased any credits, so goodness only knows what I might find when I start looking in anger.  Also, I expect things might collapse on 16 February if past experience is anything to go by.  Maybe this free weekend will be a good test for them re capacity and site stability.

Somthing is not right. A few days ago I managed to get into 1936 data base foe Marsh (Spelled Marsk) of 99 (?) Bower Way Cippenham. and got fairly complete info as to inhabitants and birth years.Upon trying for Thomas James Kirtland of Coach and Horses  32 Oxford road Windsor I got some other name that I am not sure I can fathom. The thing is that The Coach and horses is given on TJKs death Cert, athough, I am told, he died in Edward VII Hosp in 1940 or 1944.. So it seems that something is not right.

I wonder if local library services who give access to FindMyPast will now be able the 1939 register to their users? Might be worth checking out

According to a post on their Facebook page, Libraries will be getting access to the 1939 Register.

There is the death of a Thomas W Kirtland registered in Windsor district in 1944 age 73 and a Thomas James Kirtland in 1909 age 62. Are you getting the two muddled?
Thomas W comes up on the search of the 1939 register, but if you click preview it says the whole household is closed. Similarly searching on address, it says whole household is closed. Clearly an error as Thomas W was born about 1871 and should be open
