Hi, just been checking out the Norfolk 1871 - already notified them of one mistake in a name! You can tell americans transcribed these, I have a "Biddy" transcribed as "Buddy".

Hi all, Just a little tip, Oxford & Bucks are 2 of my biggies!! Always seem to be the last to go on?? Most of Bucks & Oxford has been indexed, so you can look for people. Also a lot of the images are there, not all. Try searching and any results you get, try clicking on the 'image' icon, you might get lucky!! Debbie

Bucks & Oxfordshire 1871 are not on yet, but apparently they are "coming soon".

It looks as if they might have more or less completed 1871. I use "SMITH" to check coverage and there are now Cornwall 1347 Cumberland 2354 Norfolk 7204 Westmoreland 496 These seem about right when compared with other years Also 1528 SMITH in Monmouthshire 1871 479 in Westmorland 1901 but not sure if they were already there but did not notice them when last checked 1901 Martin PS Just noticed that there was a message on ancestry a few days ago that confirms this. http://boards.ancestry.*co.uk/mbexec/message/5538/topics.ancestry.uk-ire/361

Norfolk 1871 is now on! Haven't checked to see what else might have been updated too (too busy downloading all my Norfolk lot LOL). Richard
