If they could do it that quickly they should have done it before launch. I am a FMP subscriber so I got some closed records opened for free but if I had paid £25 for each I would be pretty annoyed now.People: Canton, Wiseman, Colthup, Scrace

Thanks for the tip - I saw they had announced new records but thought it would just be the 100 year releases but I have just been back to look at a record I bought for the address my mother was living at in 1939 and - voila! she's showing - born 1917 died 1991 so it must be death record matching.

Thanks for the offer, Webwiz, but I can't scan anything at the moment as my printer has broken. :(
I'm not sure where my late mother (b 1921) actually was when the register was compiled. She was employed in Northumberland until the outbreak of war, when her employer packed up the house and went back to her parents on the Isle of Arran - initially mum could have travelled to Scotland with her to settle in the children. Unfortunately her employers were always referred to as "Mr & Mrs B***,” so without forenames I cannot even be sure which household to identify or to attempt to unlock.
As one of Mum’s siblings (b 1919) died in 1982, I had hoped that her record would have been indexed, but no luck as yet.
I think it's a case of playing the waiting game until more deceased persons are gradually added.
