If so, you will not find so recent records on FreeBMD,only to approx 1915, you can check the complete records for 1837-1984 free on Ancestry, you have to register your e-mail address I believe. As they are not transcribed, if you dont know a date for the event, you will have to check each year, quarter by quarter, page by page to find the name you are looking for. http://www.ancestry*co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx Replace star with dot.
