Search all local UK BMD sites at once

Thank you. I never knew about this.

Edit to say: very handy especially when it says register office, the amount of times I have looked for a church entry only to realise some time later it was a register office wedding!

I’ve used it a few times though never really found much.

It's been around for ages but I think originally it just took you to the local county site. This is a great improvement.

I'm adding this to this thread if only because I can't even think of a snappy summary for a thread title!

Just seen this on Bath BMD's website, and it applies to at least some of the other local BMD sites too, as I've just tried it out on Lancashire BMD:

Births searches have now been updated to allow you to search by mother's maiden name only.

Unfortunately, they haven't updated the multi-region search page (yet) to do the same, so you'll have to try each local BMD site separately. Here is the link to the list of local sites:

Of course, not all MMN's have actually been indexed on all sites yet.
