There's been a lot of talk about Spring coming early this year, and it certainly seems to be the case at Kew, where a major Spring clearout is currently underway.
Due to the relocation of records from the Family Record Centre in London to Kew, TNA has identified a series of microfilms and fiche that are now surplus to requirement, which they are offering to give away for free. Included are census returns, wills from the PCC, and much more.
You will not be able to apply for them until Feb 28th, but if interested, it is worth a look at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/stories/182.htm
Good luck!
