Re: 2007-2019 births

The indexes on all websites from 1984 onwards include the GROs own index and are not taken from the old microfiche - hence the reason that all the websites are the same. The GRO stop passing out the annual updates to all the sites back in 2007 hence the stop date on most websites. There have been se...

1837 online invitation

Why should 1837Online know what Ancestry are about to do.  I suspect that they were as surprised about it as everyone.

Free BMD searches on Ancestry.com

I tried using the link to get to the document but it says that it has moved.  A search within Google found the following link which seems to point to the same page but does enable the PDF ro be downloaded.
