I can't remember the date but I'm sure I found a couple of records well past the 1930's.

A quick search gave me Smiths upto 1983!

Those will be ones contributed by someone doing a one-name study, Kit, presumably just within a certain area, but don't worry, they do have to be taken from the GRO indexes.

Not worried Kate. Just saying there is a lot of date coverage. I can't remember the name I was really searching ages ago when I discovered they had transcribed beyond 1920. I picked Smith as it is a common name.

They have coverage charts on their site showing what percentage of records have been transcribed for each year.

That's just cheating Kate. lol

I thought it must be imminent: I've had some "thanks for your correction" notices recently.
