Thumbs up England and Wales Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers - ancestry

Only just spotted this, and I'm off to bed in a minute!

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=2972

There are over 2.5 million records included. Will have a proper look tomorrow.

Oh wow. Trawling through my neighborhood. Thanks very much, Kate.

EDIT: Ahhh, got one! Aunt Hilda was baptized in the Wesleyan-Methodist Chapel at Maiden Lane, Leeds.

They have set it up with the facility for users to correct just about every field, which is good. At the moment I keep getting error messages when I try to add records to my tree but hopefully this will be fixed soon.

The database is taken from the RG4, RG5 and RG8 collections, which are also available on the BMD Registers and The Genealogist websites, but those websites also have other collections which are not included in this one.

Yes, I noticed that - foreign BMDs in particular don't seem to be included.

If you have found a record listed on BMD Registers and you can't find it on ancestry, check to see whether it is RG4, RG5, RG8 or something else, and if it is RG4,5, or 8, it should be somewhere on ancestry but perhaps mistranscribed.
