Default Ancestry occupation records "coming soon"?

Ancestry's UK home page is showing me a box that says "Coming soon - Occupation Records 24 October". But when I click on it, I just get a page about Irish records which are already available. So I don't know exactly what they are talking about, but something is coming on Wednesday! Anyone got any more information? I don't think I can post this on the news board until I know what it means!

I couldn't see that ad, but found myself here:

Ancestry Occupations records

But I don't think any of that is to do with the ad

Thanks, Merry. We will probably just have to wait until Wednesday to find out what it is.

It looks as though it's just some Warwickshire records:

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2418

And I reckon the vast majority of those are hearth tax lists and jurors' lists, not related to occupations! Useful for those with Warwickshire ancestors, anyway, but I think some of them may have already been online?

I've found a few of my Whichford, Warwickshire ancestors - but the info doesn't tell me anything much, just name and occupation (which I already knew) but its helpful to have a few dates as a framework when looking for vital events.
