This is a bit weird - I searched for Frederick James Parsons born about 1891 with Eastbourne as the birthplace, and it came back with what must be the right record, in Weston under Penyard, Ross, Herefordshire, since that was where I was expecting him to be, but it says Essex, England, for the birthplace in the index. Presumably they have transcribed it as Eastbourne, Essex, but they aren't showing the Eastbourne bit in the free search results? I had noticed that a lot of records only show county for birthplace but I was assuming that meant the village / parish / town / city hadn't been transcribed, or wasn't on the image, not that they were just not showing it.
