As a follow-up of a previous journal entry, below is a list containing sites relating to UK research that I have found and bookmarked for their usefulness on some level. Please note that this list is by far not comprehensive but merely a catalogue of my bookmarks over the years. The list is not in any particular order, aside from being separated into two parts: free or mostly free sites and those that are fee-based on some level. The list begins with the free sites, of course.
I hope that this can help someone further his/her research!
FREE OR MOSTLY FREE SITES
worldgenweb.org: Many people know about USGenWeb but not everyone knows that there is a World GenWeb project as well. Well worth checking.
FamilySearch.org: One of the biggest, if not perhaps THE biggest site for free research. Run by LDS (Mormon Church). Covers records, family trees and IGI (International Genealogical Index).
DustyDocs.com: It is a site that collects links relating to British ancestry research covering England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man. Many of the links lead to subscription-based sites, but not all.
FreeReg.org.uk: Extracted parish BMD (Birth, Marriage and Death/Burial) records, including non-conformist records, donated by volunteers. Covers England, Scotland, Wales and the Islands.
FreeBMD.org.uk: Same as the previous but covering civil registration records (beginning around 1837).
FreeCEN.org.uk: Same as the two previous but contains census transcripts instead. As the previous two, it is fed by volunteers so the data is continuously growing. The census with the most information is the 1841 census.
ukbmd.org.uk: Huge list of links to sites that offer transcriptions of births, marriages, deaths and census. Also includes more information concerning DNA research and British abroad.
stirnet.com: Lots of interesting information including family pedigrees. (mostly free but access to the families database requires payment of a membership fee).
ukga.org (UK Genealogy Archives): Contains a plethora of information including Census, parish, and civil records plus heraldry, phone books, military and probate calendars, to name a few. Well worth checking!
nationalarchives.gov.uk (The National Archives): Contains just about anything you can think of. Searches are free but copies of documents are not. Moreover, much of the service has been outsourced to others such as Ancestry which are fee-based.
iannounce.co.uk: Contains obituaries, death notices, wedding and all other family-related family announcements from 410 UK newspapers.
medievalgenealogy.co.uk: Contains a treasure trove of resources for researching mostly English genealogy during the Middle Ages (up to about 1600) with some Welsh, and a little Scottish and Irish data as well.
thegazette.co.uk: Contains official public records under the Open Government License. Information includes data about companies; individuals and partnerships; wills and probate; honours, awards and charters; appointments (military, clergy, civil), plus more.
archaeologydataservice.ac.uk: Information about ongoing excavations and finds.
ukcensusonline.com: Contains indexed search and images of UK census between 1841 and 1911.
1911census.org.uk: Contains valuable information concerning all UK census from 1801 to 1931 including data format each year, background, type of information collected at each census and the dates they were taken (in the UK all census were taken on the exact same date regardless of the country) and when possible includes links to where one can find images. Note: due to UK data protection laws, the most recent census to be released from the 100-year restricted access period for public viewing is the 1911 census.
ffhs.org.uk (Federation of Family History Societies): Contains a plethora of useful information.
lostcousins.com: Focuses on linking researchers of a given family name or region to each other. Contains lots of useful information and links.
genesreunited.co.uk: Search is free but often to access a document you are led to one of their partner sites which is usually fee-based.
gro.gov.uk (General Register Office): Oversees civil registration in England and Wales (births, marriages and deaths) dating back to 1837. This is where you order certified copies of these types of records.
british-genealogy.com: Family History Forum. Great resource for networking with other researchers.
familynotices.org: Site where people freely publish family notices, i.e., announcements, birthdays, deaths and even missing persons.
sog.org.uk (Society of Genealogists): Offers free library access and has thousands of records.
british-history.ac.uk (BHO – British History Online): Digital library covering Britain and Ireland. Great source of encyclopaedia-type information.
bmdregisters.co.uk: Great site for those searching for non-conformist birth, marriage and death records (Methodists, Wesleyans, Baptists, Independents, Protestant Dissenters, Congregationalist, Presbyterians, Unitarians, Quakers (Society of Friends), Dissenters and Russian Orthodox.), maternity records, Overseas Records. Early Birth Registers plus various other BMD records.
visionofbritain.org.uk (A Vision of Britain Through Time): Contains historical statistics, historical maps, travel journals, election results, census reports, etc. Covers the period between 1801 and 2001.
britainexpress.com: Covers basically the entire known range of British history. Mostly focused on tourism, nevertheless, it contains a treasure trove of historical information.

FEE-BASED SITES
britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk: Fantastic site continuously digitizing 40 million newspaper pages from the collection held by the British Library (subscription-based).
ancestry.co.uk: Most people are familiar with the Ancestry sites. (subscription-based)
thegenealogist.co.uk: Contains a lot of data from phone directories to the BMD and civil records to occupational, peerage, etc. However, the vast majority is still just in the form of transcription summaries and does not contain images of the original records. (Offers both subscription-based and pa-as-you-go options).
findmypast.com: (as per correction from below comment). UK-based genealogy site with some U.S. and Canada resources provided. Much in the same line as Ancestry in the sense that users are encouraged to upload their family trees on the site.(subscription-based).
rootsuk.com: Run by Genealogy Supplies (S&N Genealogy Supplies – publisher and retailer). Not familiar with this site but appears to offer aside from the basic births, marriages and deaths, census and electoral rolls as well.

Here's hoping that these can be of help to someone.

I just hope that none of the web addresses are messed up.
