Hi all,
I've just received an email newsletter from Ancestry advising they're offering

"Four days Free access to ALL UK and Irish Records including the 1939 Registry"
Free Access starts tomorrow, Friday until midnite of Monday 9 July 2018.

Full list of available record sets is here, best open link in new window/tab, it takes a while to open;
https://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/group/uk_collections?o_xid=90204&o_lid=90204&a...

For just the 1939 Register try;
https://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=61596&o_xid=87490&o_lid=87490...

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 Ancestry 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 (altho' most of their emails nowadays are promoting their DNA service).

For anyone as daft as me who forgot to record a few 1939 Register records that I found last time, initially disregarded as thought irrelevant... this is very welcome news.

Hoping this helps, Jeff.
