The recent (March/April) issue of Family Tree Magazine has an article listing a large group of free databases that are available on subscription websites. While a few link to index-only collections, most connect you to digital record images. You will probably have to register or log in with a free account for access.
Subscription websites included in the article are Ancestry, Archives.com, Findmypast, MyHeritage, WorldVitalRecords, Fold3 and American Ancestors.There is a sidebar with instructions for finding the free offerings on each of those websites, and you could also visit the individual website and search for them on your own. In looking through the article, however, I did not find much information that would be freely available on Findmypast.
Sample offerings: 1880 and 1940 census on Ancestry, U.S. Naturalization records on World Vital Records, War of 1812 Pension files on Fold3, 1851 Scotland Census Extract and Netherlands Burial Records on MyHeritage, and New York Wills on AmericanAncestors.
