Thanks for that Mr Magoo. Not too clear on whether they are going to sneak in a charge but there is a half price offer on membership until 12 th Jan.

It looks like Ancestry are also offering 50% off their annual subscription for 'All UK & Ireland' records from £119.99 to £59.99 for a limited period from now until offer ends at 1159pm on 12 Jan 2025, see attached link

It doesn't look like they are charging an additional fee to view the 1921 Census :-)

That looks great research news.

I can see that I will be kept very busy checking out family names.

I will be busy too, it was taken 2 years before my Mum was born but good to know where my Grandmother was then.

Just rang Ancestry and asked about the 1921 census- it will be free for me as I have worldwide membership at the moment.

Susie
Did Ancestry make it clear whether or not normal UK subscription and not worldwide will have to pay to view?

FMP have a discount for the Pro membership just now. You get £48.89 off the subscription. Sorry i cant actually get the code but if you are a new subscriber, you would get this discount.

Take a look on the site and see how that compares to Ancestry.

I already have a full sub with FMP so have access to 1921 census.

According to the WDYTYAre magazine website it will be available to both subs, UK & world and free via participating libraries and archives.
