FindMyPast - partial free access for Remembrance Day

[Nick_Ips]

Can't see it mentioned yet, but FindMyPast have started free access to certain records in the lead up to 11th November.

Currently -
-All civil birth, marriage and death records
-All First World War military records and medal rolls and honours
-The 1911 Census of England and Wales


Not entirely clear what, but the email suggests there may be free access on multiple weekends, not just this one -
"More wartime resources will be free to access every weekend in the lead-up to Remembrance Day"

I am looking forward to the 1921  census access  as there are couple of  records of extended family that I haven't purchased .

Kind regards

Do you need to sign up?

It seems so, as I have to log into my account to view the free  WW1 records    ( I have a free account)
Kind regards

Just a caution: I can't see a closing time stated, but last year it was 10am rather than 1 minute to midnight as other sites tend to be, so don't have a lie in on Monday assuming you have all day.
