In addition to the ongoing year by year transcriptions, certain surnames have been transcribed by family researchers and submitted to Free BMD separately.

For example, my wife is descended from the Baggott family, who can be traced back to the Norman Conquest. As a result of the sterling work undertaken by members of the Baggott clan worldwide, Free BMD has Baggott transcriptions right up to December 1983.

Always worth a look. Never know what you will find.

Interesting what is there.

My cousin several years younger than me is listed, but not her sister who is older than me.

Such an easy site to search...A great aid to research.

Thanks for the explanation... That will be why.

I haven't checked completion dates lately.
