If you read the small print, there is a viewing limitation,
6. Fair Usage Policy for Subscribers

6.1 To ensure a high quality service for all customers, we enforce a “Fair Usage Policy” for Users with a Subscription whereby we place a cap on use of the Services. We have set the current use limit at an average of no more than 1000 Credits per month over a rolling three month period.
6.2 We may revise our Fair Usage Policy from time to time and will advise you of any changes made.
6.3 If you exceed the Fair Usage Policy limits, We reserve the right to invoice you retrospectively for all Credits used at the rate of 12 pence per Credit and to suspend or terminate your use of the Services

So if these limitations are applied, I can see that people offering look-ups/images etc will very quickly exceed this limitation and be asked to pay extra.

I signed up for the 6 months and so far it seems that I can do person or address search, view transcripts and images, and seems unlimited, I've spent several hours this weekend and looked at e.g. whole village images etc.

However, I agree with Steve from Oz that the search doesn't seem to be as user friendly as the one on the www.1911census.co.uk website, so sometimes it helps to search on the 1911 site and then use the district and spelling of names etc to view the transcript / original on FMP.

I would say I've had my subs worth already. I found pay per view quite expensive and only looked up direct lines, so now I've been able to branch out into siblings of direct lines etc etc. I'm addicted!

Thankyou, Amokavid

I have looked at the site but it doesn't answer my question. I was hoping that someone who has signed up for just the 1911 census would be able to tell me what you get.

Does anyone know what the years subscription gives.
Does it just give the transcipts, or can you see the original pages, & is it unlimited access or do you have to pay any extra money to view ??

Thankyou
