I would use the credits for newspaper articles, where possible, though GR only has British Newspaper Archive records up to 1949.

I wouldn't bother trying to find any BMD or census record on GR.
GR only has BMDs for England and Wales, in any case.

GR's records are VERY limited.......as part of FMP, they get only what's shared with them, as far as I know
But, everyone's requirements are different, therefore searching would be entirely based on those.

I’ve signed up for a month, after having many years away. I’ve been given 50 credits but the records held seem quite scarce , what would you use the credits for? I was hoping newspaper archives covered all of Britain , same as the British newspaper archive does.
