According to the Ancestry birth 1916 -2005 transcriptions, I am a southerner eek:
I was born in Bridlington, East Yorkshire and from 1937 to 1974, this was part of the Buckrose registration district.
Initially this was volume 9d, but then it changed to became 2a.
Prior to that, 2a was Kent & Surrey.
So according to Ancestry, my birth was registered in the Buckrose reg district, but in the county of Kent & Surrey. :(
(I think it may just be those with my birth quarter that have been attributed to the wrong county)
So, when using this Ancestry search facility, make sure you check the reg dists as well as skimming down the counties, especially if you can't find someone. They may appear in a very different part of the country from what you were expecting.
