You can only usually get a £1 offer once, otherwise people could have access to the site for the whole year for £12, which obviously would not be sustainable for FindMyPast.

The ANCESTRYHOUR16 code worked for several months - I'm assuming this was an error on their part.  :) It doesn't appear to be working now ....

 ???  I've made use of £1 offers several times. 

Well, I say "made use", but it always turns out that they don't have what I was looking for.  And the latest experience put me off any thoughts of subscribing for longer.  What on earth have they done to it?  I found it incredibly difficult to narrow down searches.

I'm exactly the same. I pay my £1 and don't bother looking anything up - or - the odd thing I do look up gets no results.  :-\

I too have had £1 offers more than once.

I don't know what's going on with all the "New look" sites but they need to employ people who do research of family history/genealogy who are employed in IT as they are all so complex now, I now need help to navigate the sites  ???  ::)  ;D
