So, we have at least ten different email accounts.
If we register on Fmp with each does that give us 900 minutes?

A little more from the site.

The 90mins are available between 9am (uk time) on match day to 9am the following day.

This is from the site.

The free 90 minutes are available as a single continuous period and will begin the moment you sign into findmypast.co.uk between the times above.

Please note: If you have asked findmypast.co.uk to remember your details and are normally signed in automatically, your 90 minutes of free access will begin from the moment you visit findmypast.co.uk during the free period.

Ianie that is very harsh.....you assume that people have the time to check or know where to check about the updates.

Some people may have only just come home from work or that is the only available time especially if their spouse is watching the map.

Indeed it is odd that you make that statement yet you yourself are using the site in part of the peak time.

Hi All
This new idea worked much better I looged on this afternoon and managed to find one of my descendents on The 1851 Census which I could not find on any other site plus a couple of deaths I had been looking for.

I'm in Aust converting from UK time going by the Newsletter sent me by FNP UK time said... Free access begins 3hrs from 7pm.
Aust Time: starts 3.30am [19th]
I logged on 3.20am.
Constantly asked to re-sign in & when i typed in details for 1911C showed me what i wanted except when i wanted to look at the Transcriptions.... said Internet Explorer cannot show Webpage!
That was shown constantly..........Gave up & went back to bed!
The week before i did copy 3 Transactions still had to re-sign in constantly for some unknown reason.

Thankfully I had better luck today. I logged on at 9am Sydney time and the website was working fine. I didn't trust downloading images as I thought it would take too long so I printed a number of household transcripts as I was worried about the time frame.

Turned out not to be a problem as I had some time to spare.
