Findmypast is one of the two big paid family-history sites, and its Library Edition is free to use in many UK public libraries. Coventry Libraries’ own page says you can use Find My Past (British Edition) for free as part of your library membership.
It covers British and Irish records – parish registers, census returns, military records and historical newspapers – although some libraries note that the 1921 Census is excluded from the library edition.
Like Ancestry Library Edition it is in-library only: you use it on a public computer in the library rather than from home, and library staff can help you get started. Councils including Leicestershire, Northumberland, Trafford, Waltham Forest and Wrexham run the same scheme.
