Its a 'new' district Jean. From Genuki: Buckrose registration district Registration County : Yorkshire East Riding. Created : 1.4.1937 (formerly parts of Bridlington, Driffield and Pocklington districts). Sub-districts : Bridlington; Driffield; Norton. GRO volumes : 9d (1937-46); 2A (1946-74).

I haven't got a 'Buckrose 2a' on my Districts, Judith. I'm just looking through at all the 2a's Jean It's probably because mine is for the 1800's and of cause districts and numbers change.

Hi Chris, I put the image up to 200% and then used the magnifying option in the task bar, even doing that I still couldn't make out much, think a phone call to the GRO is your best bet. Good Luck Fuzzy x

Judith You must have been to Spec Savers :)) I dont know how you did it but now you have said it I think I can 'see' what you mean.....So the wrong area :( Gran never left London in all her life! Thanks Chris

Fuzzy Thanks for looking. Your eyesight must be much better then mine, I can hardly read any of it apart from the names Fanny and Frances :(( It should be registration district Lambeth. Chris

How about Buckrose 2a 46 for Fanny who I think was aged 77 or 71

Anne Thank you!!!!! I want a Fanny or Frances born 1888 so 77 would fit :))))) I am deffinetly ringing then tomorrow....I just need one registered Lambeth and I will be over the moon! Chris

Hi Chris, first bit looks like something A , and then 4 something, what is the district? that could help us with the volume no

Sorry, I tried but for me it's impossible. The only thing I could get was the ages - and both were 77. No help there. Anne update, there is another Francis age 47 - any help? Anne

Judith Thanks for looking........Essex would be the wrong area. I think I will give the GRO a ring tomorrow and see what they suggest I do. Chris

Dea Thanks for looking...........It really is about the worst I have seen to date :(((( Chris

1837online have it as a free image as its so poor. I think the first Frances (those after her may be Francis or Frances, can't tell) was 44 and registered in Essex SW 4a can't read page number.

Sorry Chris, I have had a look on 1837 - It is a free image as the quality is VERY bad - Can't really help. Dea x

Can anyone read the following Death index page for Fanny and Frances Robinson 1965 Q1 I can make out that there are both a Fanny and a Frances on the page but... Ancestry is awful....I have reported it. Family Relatives is just as bad. It's not on FreeBMD images. I have run out of 1837 credits :( I have tried reversing the image but it hasn't helped. The registration district for each entry would be enough, I could then either discount them or try to order it from the GRO over the phone. It is typical as I have searched from 1945 to 1975 and it is most likely the ONE I want :((( Many thanks for any help. Chris
