There is a thread on the tips board entitled "be cheeky" which I will nudge up for you which you may find helpful.

I personally prefer Ancestry to FindMyPast. I have had an annual subscription to Ancestry for a few years and buy credits on FMP when I need to.

I,like Linda have a sub with Ancestry and buy "pay as you go" credits for FMP when I need them

It works for me !!

The military records at FMP are ok but otherwise many of their records are available elsewhere, some for free, I think Ancestry is a better bet.
