GRO BDM Index England and Wales

Post by trish1 » Sun Dec 06, 2009 8:54 am

Ancestry have now indexed all the births deaths and marriages to 2005. Deaths have recently been added. I assume they have used OCR transcriptions so a few errors but alot more user friendly than searching via quarters. I check freebdm first as their transcriptions (post 1915) are usually more accurate. Pre 1915 Ancestry uses the FreeBDM data.

I had three missing deaths for my son-in-law's family and had pretty much given up on ever finding them.

Last night I tried again and two of them are there! Now the family know what happened to one "runaway husband" =D>
