1921 Census - FMP

I haven't seen anyone discuss the charges to view the 1921 census.

Searching is free.
Viewing a transcript £2.50
Viewing an image £3.50

12-month Pro subscribers will enjoy a 10% discount on all 1921 Census purchases.

That's not much of a discount.


Edit: It's being released on 6th January 2022.

Not till the 6th? I've usually mopped up everybody by noon on 2nd.

And I don't know about anybody else, but I only have about half a dozen households to look at, with parents not born, and their great-grandparents dead.

It's the same price as TNA downloads have been, and cheaper than bmds. It will also provide a filter on excessive use: I remember the thought and care that went into the 1901 census, and then the brickats when things went wrong.

Both my parents were alive. My mother should be in Guildford. However, I don't know if I shall find my father as he was born in Glasgow in 1920 and I'm not sure if they had come to England by then.

There are lots of other family members I want to find - the siblings of my great-grandparents etc.

So 6th Jan for England and Wales 1921 census

but will have to wait for the latter part of 2022 for the Scottish 1921 census.

I don't think they gave FMP subscribers any discount for the 1911 census or the 1939 Register, did they? So any discount is an improvement for subscribers. I wonder whether you will be able to "upgrade" from a transcription to the image for only £1 or if viewing both would cost £6 in total? Hopefully the former!

A 12 month Pro sub to FMP costs £159.99 full price, in case anyone wants to know.

I agree, there was no discount for subscribers for 1911 or 1939.

I would like the two households of my grandparents and the four households of my great-grandparents. None of my 2xg's were alive in 1921.

For OH it will be less as his mother, grandmother and great-grandmother will most likely all be in the same household. His grandfather, John Claud Hamilton (!) may be there too if he isn't in jail or on board a ship. All OH's father's side will be in Spain. They released their 1920ish census years ago!

Of course there are probably some other households that would be interesting, but probably most can wait for a while (as could the above if it wasn't for my nosiness!). I really should be making a list.

*prepares for Peter Henry Harrison* :rolleyes:

There is one little thing that worries me. The email says that the 1921 census "will be exclusively available online at Findmypast", rather than on a separate website as they did with the 1911 census and the 1939 Register. If that's right, are they going to be using their new "micropayments" system for the pay-per-view payments? Because as far as I can tell, micropayments have not been "rolled out" to everyone yet - I still don't seem to get the option. Though I wouldn't consider £2.50 or £3.50 to be a micropayment, so hopefully it will be a separate system!

You aren’t the only one. I wonder what the b*gg*r says this time.
