If you look on www.ukbmd.org.uk it has a list of Count/Regional BMD sites (and other useful links) all very well organised. Christine |

Gerard If you go to UKBMD and click on counties (on the left hand side) you will find all the info for that county and if the records are on line it's just a click away. Hope this helps. Carol :) |

Things get a bit easier around 1911/12 because the indexes include the mothers maiden name on birth and both partners surnames are listed on the marriages. I have just managed to find a living relative by looking at births after I received a marriage certificate and then I did a search of the surname on this site and found a match with one of the names I had found on 1837 online. Good luck with your search. Mel |

Many thanks for your kind help. I am currently trying FamilyRelatives. Looks a lot better than Ancestry! (I wonder if I can get a refund?) |

The free sites are only transcribed up until about 1910. To look for BMD after that time, and for any time WHEN you can't find a birth of the indexes, you need to look via the pay per view sites, www.familyrelatives.*org and www.1837online.*com - just remove the * |

I've had a lot of success tracing my ancestors before 1901 (the best way I've found being the census's). Now I'm trying to come forward after 1900 and it just seems like much harder work and a lot more hit and miss. Does anyone else think this. I'm registered with Ancestry.co.uk (which has been great by the way - a real timesaver) but it seems to fizzle out after 1900 (for births, deaths, etc.). I've briefly looked at Rootsweb and that seems to do the same thing. Am I missing something obvious? Help please! |
