Sawneys GRO-index link

[poundcoin]

Just wanted to rescue Sawneys GRO index link that was on TMF last year , before it disappears . I know I could bookmark it but often use different devices to access the web so handy to keep the link in one place.

There are new GRO indexes (Many thanks to the "Lost Cousins" newsletter) on the GRO website here....

Even if you are already registered, you may have to request a new activation code to access.

The new indexes for births 1837 - 1915 give maiden surname as well. Previously unavailable before 1911.

New index for deaths give age at death from 1837 through to 1957. previously from 1866.
