GRO offers a searchable birth index (from the drop down year options) to 1917 & deaths to 1957. |

The GRO online search at their web site is woefully inadequate and only useful if you already have fairly precise data about the person you are looking for. Moreover it requires the searcher to have created a (free) account. |

Freebmd is great but it doesn't give mmn before 1911 and so the GRO index has proved invaluable tracking births of 'unknown' children who were born and died between census. Yes the GRO index has a lot of errors but it also benefits from the options to use phonetic and similar names on both surnames so it is easy to pick up the spelling errors and mistranscriptions :-D |
