Skipman Posted 5 December , 2022 Share Posted 5 December , 2022 My ancestry subscription ends on 16th December and I won't be renewing it for a while. I'm keeping my FMP subscription and am hoping to take a digital copy of documents relating to the men I'm researching that are only available on ancestry.co.uk Which resources are available exclusively on ancestry. Medal Rolls, Silver War Badge Rolls, anything else? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 5 December , 2022 Share Posted 5 December , 2022 (edited) War Diaries although currently free on Nat Archives (long may it continue). Medal Index Card reverse side address for officers. But also free! Soldiers Effects. Discharged index for post 1919 born before 1901. (Although can still be downloaded elsewhere perhaps?)

My local library service went from subscribing to Ancestry to subscribing to FindMyPast about six years ago. I very quickly found that the document I missed even more than the Medal Roll was the Register of Soldiers Effects. 8 minutes ago, charlie962 said: Medal Index Card reverse side address for officers. But also free! You'll still have a log on with Ancestry and some documents can still be seen for free. In the military section that includes the Medal Index Cards. And when they have a free weekend on Fold3 you can still use your Ancestry log-in to gain access. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_history_buff Posted 5 December , 2022 Share Posted 5 December , 2022 The following is useful, unsure if it is exclusive to Ancestry, though Surrey, England, Regimental Rolls and Recruitment Registers, 1914-1947 Link https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/4865/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz Posted 5 December , 2022 Share Posted 5 December , 2022 I'm thinking of not renewing at the end of the month, although I have just renewed fold 3 for $49 for next year. So hopefully will be able to get some ancestry through that. From then , where??? Fmp, fwr??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_history_buff Posted 5 December , 2022 Share Posted 5 December , 2022 The entirety of the RN medal rolls are available via Ancestry. FMP has coverage of: Officers' medal rolls, Royal Marines ORs medal rolls, RNVR medal rolls and 1914 Star roll of the Admiralty. (All of these WW1 medal rolls are within the ADM 171 series of documents.) The older men of the Royal Navy do not have their Statements of Service (ADM 188) on FMP, whereas the coverage of this record set on Ancestry is complete.
