What! The 1939 Register For Free!

[rosie99]

Will the register be included in library subscriptions?

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.

they may not be aware of it though, Westminster weren't until I told them last week.

Just checked my library website, they don't have access to Find My Past.   

I might try suggesting it to them.....

Thank you to StevieSteve and Scouseboy.

Well, a very nice reply arrived today - they will be getting FindMyPast from April 1st  but due to budget constraints, will not be continuing with Ancestry as well.

The lady told me she thought that the 1939 would not be included so I was pleased to be able to tell her (after reading all the help on here) that it will be included in the Library edition.

Thanks again Rootschatters!

That's great news Pat. Shame they can't continue with Ancestry too - there isn't much overlap between the parish records on the two sites so it's useful to have access to both.

I'm lucky here in East Sussex, our libraries subscribe to both Ancestry and FindMyPast, as well as the British Newspaper Archives. Really excited about having complete access to the 1939 register. I can't afford a yearly subscription to FindMyPast so I'm glad it'll be available in the library edition.

1939 now added to those yearly subs

That's great! Wish you hadn't said though, as I was about to go to bed so must resist the temptation to sneak a look.
