I have not used the members free 72 hour access for a very long time. Does anyone know if this allows access to the 1841 census recently advertised, or is it purely limited to SoG provided data such as Boyds marriages, Vicar General Marriage Licence Allegations etc? Regards, Peter Armstrong

I tried it for the first time in a long while and found that I could access all of British Origins datasets whether they were from the SoG or not. And yes, that did include the 1841 (and 1871) indexes and images. I could also access Irish Origins databases. Access to Scottish Origins was weird - they were just links to scotlandspeople - no datasets of their own. So the statement that SoG members can access British Origins is true but not complete - unless the access is presently actually wider than intended! Although told that I had not used my 3rd quarter 2004, I could not activate that (only the 1st quarter 2005) - and now the botton has disappered. I have e-mailed Origins about that but no reply yet.
