  • Birth reg question

    Hello,
    I was just looking for the birth of my great grandmother on free BMD and couldn't see it, so looked on ancestry and its there! All her brothers and sisters are on free BMD and ancestry and were all born in the same place, any ideas why she wouldn't be showing on free BMD?
    I know it doesn't hinder my research of her but its just one of those annying questions I would like to know the answer to!
    Many thanks
    Tessie

    When was she born? It might be that if after c1915 it hasn't been transcribed yet.
    Could also be mistranscribed.

          FreeBMD is not complete up to that date - although they are well on the way, which would explain why the others are already on there.

            I have brothers and sisters births before and after her on there though, maybe she has been missed? Never mind!

              What happens if you enter the volume and page number on Freebmd?

                  I looked at both Ancestry and FreeBMD and going by the GRO index (the source for both) FreeBMD got it right. I have had a very high error rate with the Ancestry transcriptions for the 1916-2005 Birth and Marriage indexes.
