Thank you for the updates to say this offer is still working.

I just used ANCESTRYHOUR16 and it worked for me.

Have you previously taken advantage of the £1 offer AlannaGrace?

I found that I had to do things in the correct order (I did it the wrong way the first time and they were going to charge me the full £9.95)

On the subscription page, you have to enter the code first, then click 'apply' (or whatever the word is).

That will take you to a screen that says the code was successfully applied.

Then you will see that the monthly cost is £1 instead of £9.99. Select the £1 subscription and then go through the payment process.

Where I went wrong the first time, was I selected the £9.99 subscription first, then entered the code. That doesn't work, and asks you to pay the full £9.99.

So maybe thats where you went wrong? Or, maybe they have stopped the special offer as they discovered an influx of £1 subscriptions.  :)

Did you follow Ruskie's instructions ???

It has just worked for me, following Ruskie's instructions  ;).  I'm a little disappointed that the 1939 Register isn't included, I had a few more people to track down when my 12 month sub ran out recently.  Beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

You can Browse the 1939 register with the £1 subs. If you are looking for someone in rural districts I've found you can usually locate them in a few minutes, for London and large urban districts with lots of Piece Numbers it can take, say, half an hour.

The procedure for going about it is as follows (entry 13 in this thread):
