The GRO must have kept this very quiet, as I see that even Chris Paton has nothing about it in his blog yet.
I know I shouldn't look a gift-horse in the mouth, but the search facility seems very old-fashioned for 2016. I suppose it was cheaper that way. |

Ooh, I've found a cousin of my grandfather's who I didn't know about before, one who died in infancy.
Edit - and another! |

I have started looking at my tree, beginning with person 1. I am now on person 67 out of about 9,000, but I have to go out now
![]() So far I have confirmed it's extremely unlikely my great-grandmother was registered for birth, as I had long suspected. Nothing else yet...... The new search facility times out if I try anything other than exact spellings ![]()

The phonetic variations facility is very vague anyway (apparently "Harrison" is phonetically similar to "Brown"!)

The search engine is poor but I am not complaining at all, this is a very welcome feature. I've now managed to find all 9 King children to my great x 2 grandparents including the 5 deceased ones.

Wow, just found another cousin of my grandfather's who we didn't know about, another one who died in infancy. Although both surnames are pretty common, his burial was on Deceased Online with the same address that the family were at on the census. I didn't even think there was a gap between children in that family as he comes in between two children who were slightly less than 2 years apart!

I'm finding so many tots that I didn't even know existed, because they were born and died between censuses. It's really quite sad!
