I was just pulling non-conformist records from The Genealogist yesterday. I found records there that I didn't find on Ancestry. I wonder if it's the index?

Thanks Angelina I have some Bellhouse non conformists so will have a look. Very useful as I've now used up my 50 free FMP credits !

Are these the same records as http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk/ ?

[kylejustin]

seem to be the same as at the bmd registers site. is anyone having issues saving images?

As yet Ancestry only has SOME of the records that are on the bmd reg site. I've had a lot of Quaker records on the bmd registers site - none of these have shown up on Ancestry, although it did have one I hadn't come across before.
Similarly, Ancestry had the Wesleyan bp of one of my Norfolk gang, but not the bp of his brother, which was recorded in the same register about 3/5 yrs later.

It may be that Ancestry has more indexing to do and add to the site, OR has already had some very BAD indexing done, which isn't producing the hits I would expect.

i really cleaned up with my grinton wesleyans! killed off a bunch including one i thought had moved to america and died in 1890! i know it's him because his parents and their unusual address are included in the record even though he was 18.

another died in his 50's and his parents names were included....nicely confirming my suspicions.

had a sad entry though "margaret and ruth pratt 2 children buried in one cofin (sic) and one grave. of feetham. ruth 2 years old, the other an infant".

I just checked my lot again as I can find all siblings either side of my 3 x great grandfather but not him!! how annoying.

They seemed to be registered in batches so I guess they forgot they hadn't done him!

Found the register entry for my great-grandfather. Previously I just had an IGI entry and the non-con register index to go on. Now I'll have to look for the rest of my Gloucestershire rellies.

Edit: but no sign of his siblings, who must be in a register that Ancestry haven't yet indexed.

I hate it when I find records like that so sad, but those were the times. I have found some of the Wesleyns I was looking for and it has been a bit of an eye opener. I have found children I didn't even know existed because they were christened within the faith pre 1837, I can now put a whole family together. I am so chuffed to find these records.
