Yes it is free to non members, by the way its only the burials that are on Ancestry for late 1900's can't remember the year but from about 1980-. I think Ancestry have an agreement with freebmd who supply them after freebmd have added them to their list first. Irene |

Incidentally, are the Civil Registration indices available to non subscribed users. I am not sure, as I have a years subscription and as the information is free on the Freebmd site, then it should also be free elsewhere. |

I suppose it is in a way, but I think they used the term that 1837online use, and assume that users will know that it is incomplete. |

According to the Ancestry website and their listed collections, they claim to have the "England and Wales, Civil Registration Index: 1837-1983", but really they only have a copy of the FreeBMD database that goes up to c1909... In the Census collection, they atleast tell you which databases are partial and complete, but I couldn't find a breakdown for the BMD index. Don't you think this is false advertising? |
