I don't know if this is a repost or old news, but I was looking for a birth on Ancestry and found that you can now search for births 1916-1984 without having to trawl the quarterly lists(which have now been removed)

It's been like that for a couple of weeks now, but the births between 1916 and 1984 are not as easy to find as they should be. You first have to click on births between 1984 and 2005 and then there is a link to the other births.

I think they should be with the marriages and deaths for the same period so they are easier to find.

Kath
I just scroll down on my opening page.
Births are just to the right of the directory advert.

Thanks for that Gwyn. It's my own fault - I have been using Ancestry for years but I always start from the "Search" tab rather than the "Home" tab, which is why it's been more difficult to find the births.

Thanks again - that makes things much easier.

Glad to help Kath.
I hate all the changes on Ancestry.
I have trouble nipping in and out of Welsh and English census now.
