The 1939 register free access period has now started.

This free weekend - including the 1921 census records - appears to have started already.

Received an email at 14.26 saying it started at 10.00am (GMT)

All records appear to be free.

1921 census free for a few days, very handy.

All records appear to be free.

Certainly a bonus

1921 census has given me a few surprises, such as a foundling taken in by my great grandfathers brother, and a previously unknown likely daughter of another brother of his, born 2 years before the parents married.

Being taken in June rather than April many people are not where you would expect.  My great-grandmother had gone to Bridlington with a daughter and her two children, also another grandchild, my aunt.  Meanwhile great-grandfather is missing, no entry found for their house.  Another set of great-grandparents moved about 1921 from Lancashire back to south Yorkshire.  But not in either place, they were visiting a daughter in Huddersfield.

The most delightful thing was finding my mother's cousin aged 8y 10m had been encouraged to fill in her own line in the census.  Neat but childish writing which brought back to me the writing on her Christmas gifts.

I'm disappointed not to find a Birmingham newspaper article for my husband's grandfather Joseph Henry Blakemore who died 25th August 1918 at Rouen. I have read it before so it must exist.
