Thanks dbree, you pipped me to the post, but I'll just add (a) that it ends 12:59pm MT, which I make to be 6:59am on Tuesday 20th and (b) the usual warning for free periods to save anything of interest on your own device, as you'll need a sub to see it after the offer closes.

Also, just about to end (sorry, I got diverted and failed to post it sooner)

Free Access to MyHeritage worldwide marriage and divorce records until 17th. No time specified and that could mean the start or end of Saturday (probably also MT), i.e. 6:59 am Saturday or Sunday.

Introduction
Collection catalogue
Use the refine option on the left to find specific countries or dates.
Search form
Scroll down for links to England & Wales searches.

At a quick glance, the records available appear to be rather selective, so don't expect to find everybody, or much more than's on FreeBMD at all times.

Researching Penge, Anerley, (including the Crystal Palace) and neighbouring parts of Beckenham, currently in London (Bromley), formerly Surrey and/or Kent.
