This just popped in to my inbox

Findmypast are allowing FREE access to the 1911 Census and ALL the other resources for which you'd normally need a subscription, but only while England are playing in the World Cup.



Their first game is on Saturday 12th June, and the free access will be for 3 hours from 7pm British Summer Time.



England's second game is on Friday 18th June, and the free access will again be for 3 hours from 7pm.



Unless England qualify for the next stages of the competition their last game will be on Wednesday 23rd June, and the free access will be for 3 hours from 2.30pm.



Please note that New York is 5 hours behind London, and California is 8 hours behind. Thus the free access on 12th June will begin at 2pm if you are on the East Coast, and 11am if you are on the West Coast. Unfortunately if you are in Australia or New Zealand the matches take place in the early morning.

I can't get the page to load either, too busy. Rather annoying as I actually subscribe to it.
