From what Ive just been reading of the extortinate prices FMP are charging I for one WILL NOT be using them or subscribing to their services, it is so very obvious that they feel they can set their prices so high, it is just pure greed. Lower the prices, more people will use their services collecting the same if not more revenue…..greed….not good in any business!!

i haven’t been getting any results back on a basic search, even with knowing exact details and having read all the comments above (of which there are no positive ones !) I will not be using the service. Much to expensive for those of us on a budget, and clearly issues abound with the accuracy of transcribed info.

FMP, you have lost another customer.

@ Roger: please see the separate posts on the blog explaining pricing and funding of the project. Prices have been set with full agreement of the National Archives. Also remember that a subscription option will be available later via findmypast.com.

The prices to view the 1911 census are an outrage. FMP are denying access to millions of people through plain greed. Further I would like to know why the National Archives are not getting involved and putting pressure on FMP to reduce their charges.

FAR TO EXPENSIVE!!! Having read other peoples comments and they seem to agree with me. You would have thought considering everyones comments they would have made a subscription availble now - they obviously dont care about customer service, they must be putting all their energy into ripping people off.
