Credit pricing change for census records

We have increased the amount of credits you will be charged to view an 1841-1901 census record from 3 to 5. This is the first time we’ve increased our credit pricing in 4 years and we hope you’ll understand our need to reflect the current market rates in our pricing. The 1881 census transcript images will remain free to view.

Findmypast.co.uk has complete census records 1841-1911 - more records than anyone else. We also have more searchable fields than anyone else which makes finding your ancestors as straightforward as possible.

PayAsYouGo credits can be a great way to start your family history research, but with a subscription you can enjoy unlimited usage of our records without having to worry about running out of credits. Visit our ‘Subscribe‘ page for more information about subscribing to findmypast.co.uk.

   Misleading advertising!!! Last time I looked at the user agreement, usage was NOT unlimited with a subscription. Very generous but there is a limit. From the website:
   7. Fair Use Policy for Subscribers

   7.1 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. For Free Subscriptions, you may access 600 Records during the Free Trial Offer period. For Chargeable Subscriptions, you may access 5000 Records per calendar month.

   See the terms and conditions for more details.

   Hi Sue,

   Thanks for pointing this out.

   We didn’t mention the fair use policy in this post because the limit is so large it rarely applies. As you pointed out, the fair use policy can be found in our terms and conditions (http://www.findmypast.co.uk/terms/index.jsp) so if anyone has any queries about this they can find the relevant information there.
