Census 1921 - pricey!

It's not that pricey when you compare it with the cost of a PDF from the GRO.

You can't expect the sub to include access to the census for a few months as they would lose much of their expected revenue because of kind people doing lookups.

Seems they pull numbers out of a hat then Kath. I was charged 101.96 just a month after you and was granted a worldwide sub - I didn't even know I had that LOL
I hope they don't up my sub to £150 odd next March - they never send notice of what they are going to charge me :-|

I have what used to be called a Worldwide Subscription to FMP but now seems to be called PRO. It should be £155.95p but in February I paid £132.56p which is a 15% discount.

If they can give a 15% loyalty discount on a subscription I would have thought they could give at least the same on the census transcriptions and images. I've been with them for years.

I seem to have a pro subscription this current year which cost £101.96 as have the previous three years for the Britain sub.
I've only ever had a Britain subscription which has gone up and down over the years, as low as £49.75 one year. No rhyme or reason.

Like so many sites it all depends which level you want.

The pro level is £159.99 a year.

Thanks Kucinta....as you say pricey :-0 :-0

Would have thought they could have given a better discount for the Pro subscribers, I already pay FMP too much :-0

It's £2.50 per transcript of the record.

It's £3.50 for the actual census image

The 10% discount is only available to folk with the 12 month, Pro subscription ie the most expensisve one.


"How much will the census cost?

£2.50 for every record transcript and £3.50 for every original record image.

This will cover the cost of digitising and transcribing the 18,235,242 images created from the records supplied exclusively to us by The National Archives. It means these precious records are accessible, commitment-free, for everyone.

For all 12-month Pro subscribers, there will be a 10% discount on any 1921 Census purchases."
