        Yep, 'fraid so... seems to be broken at the moment - presumably under the weight of all those new records

            Has anybody noticed if the parish records for Warwickshire are on there yet?

            Oh, and it is still not working!

              Main link still doesn't seem to be working - but not sure if I have found a back door which is open


              It's certainly bringing up some images when I search the Warwickshire collection, which I think is a new one.

                This is an interesting collection - not sure if it's new - don't remember seeing it before.

                Great Britain Deaths and Burials, 1778-1988

                I think it is basically overseas deaths, but seems to be bringing up quite a few results for Merchant Marine at Sea.

                  Well done Elaine!

                  It looks like the Cheshire Parish Registers may have been updated. I'm now finding records for Shotwick, which I haven't been able to find before.
                  In addition to the Ireland Civil Registration Indexes, there are Ireland births, baptisms and deaths on there now too.

                  I think the Warwickshire Parish Registers have been on there for some time. I have no idea how extensive coverage was/is though.

                    Strange that the Norfolk parish register collection isn't in that list.

                      Yes, well-spotted Elaine. I hope they haven't removed it!
                      At least one Dutch collection that was on there previously isn't in that list either.

                          The "normal" link seems to be working again! And it includes Norfolk and the Dutch records missing on the other site, plus lots of new stuff (for Ireland, Wales, etc). :smilee:

                          Looks like the Ireland and Great Britain BMD records are from BIVRI.

                                Normal link seems to be broken again.
                                The one in post #7 still seems to be working although it doesn't have the full list of collections.

                                  Woohoooooo!!!!

                                  I just found the marriage for my 2g grandfather in India. It lists his father's full name and wife's father's name, which shows she was either illegitimate or previously married. My brick wall now has, at least, a crack.

                                  I had found the marriage previously on FIBIS but it didn't have the details this record does.

                                    Hmmm. Found heaps on exciting things but I have a question about this.

                                    My 2 g grandfather, not he one above, had a son my grandfather didn't know about. I found the baptism and guessed there would be a death and I was right.

                                    The baptism says born 23/1/1887, baptised 23/1/1887. That's fine, they were worried about the child and had him baptised asap.

                                    The burial record says: died 22/1/1887, burial 23/1/1887. So he died before he was born.

                                    Would you think the date died is incorrect?

                                      Hi - perhaps he was born late at night..and it merged with the following day...

                                        There certainly are more there than before - for instance, the marriage for my great-great-grandparents, found a few years ago on the BVRI, 12th May 1848.
