BMDs
 

Can someone please remind me where the site is I used to wade through BMDs.

I cannot remember. I need post 1958. FreeBMD is not showing anything I want.

Thanks.

This is the one General Register Office

Thank you.

Also, do you know if Ancestry has English electoral rolls?

GRO doesn’t have the years I want for births. Any other ideas?

The GRO site only has deaths after 1958 (not births, which only go up to 1919 and no marriages). There are probably as many mistakes on that death index as there are on Ancestry's, but they do go up to 2019 - Ancestry only goes up to 2005 or so, with more limited coverage after that.

Ancestry has erolls for London and Surrey and a (very?) few other areas up to the mid 1960s and England 2003-2010 which includes a good stab at year of birth for entries (better than the same records on FMP). FMP also has wider coverage for the late 1920s-1932 or so.

The above is from memory, so don't quote me!!

Ancestry or FMP?

It’s this Leslie Melhuish again. I’ve tracked his kids’marriages, but only the daughter seems to have a child.

Cannot find anything for them, children, deaths, immigration. Maybe they found their dad and joined him in some cave in an inaccessible place.

The eldest son had two children.

I'm not sure which is the right marriage (if he married) for the youngest son, but the entry I wondered about also led to two children. (I've not attempted to eliminate this marriage at all though - what year was the one you thought might be him?)

The eldest son died 31 Jan 2013.
