Hi all,
I've just received an email newsletter from the "Who Do You Think You Are ?" website advising that the "Find My Past" website are offering the following free access starting today.

"Thousands of British and Irish census, birth, marriage and death records are available for free on Findmypast for the next week (1-8 February) to mark the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage.

In addition, more than 3,000 Metropolitan Police and Home Office records revealing the authorities’ surveillance of the suffragette movement are available on the website in a new collection.

The census and BMD records will be free until 8 February, while the suffragette collection will be free until 8 March – International Women’s Day.

To view them, users will have to register for a Findmypast account but will not be charged."

These links refer, probably best opened into a new tab or window.

In the usual manner any new users will need to register their name and email address beforehand, but nothing more and no requests for payment, unless you stray away from the free datasets when using the FMP website. Registering will also mean you'll receive occasional and useful newsletter emails advising of events such as this, or informational research guides, and so on, but no spam. The same applies to the WDYTYA site, I recommend joining both sites.

Hoping this helps, Jeff.
