When on the freebmd section to find they split it into separate sections for Births, deaths and marriages.............ok i thought fine. Clicked on the district name like I used to to find out what area it covers and nothing!! What have they done to it? Ok someone help me please............I would like to know what area Claro in Yorkshire covers.

I'm having the same trouble with the printer friendly version of view record. The other annoying one is the Canadian Provinces options I get instead of English Counties! Bah! Pam

Did you get that from the old version or the new one..............I've just noticed the old one is still there so I'm now using that.

before you click on it click on the left where it says English and Wales BMD 1837-1983 on the left hand side All Results Narrow Your Search Record Type: Birth, Marriage, & Death England & Wales, FreeBMD Index: 1837-1983 England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837-1983 England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1983 England & Wales, Birth Index: 1984-2000 England & Wales, Marriage Index: 1984-2000 England & Wales, Death Index: 1984-2002 Pallot's Marriage Index for England: 1780 - 1837 See more... Not finding what you're looking for? Find other people looking for Rebecca Heaton in Lancashire in 1838. Start a tree with Rebecca Heaton. I persume the old one the 2nd one down is the new one perhaps they haven't finished it its a bit silly no page numbers must be a blip

Ancestry site is driving me nuts today... I'm in this: Search the partial FreeBMD index, 1837-1983 (for England and Wales). Now, usually when we search for a marriage entry (transcribed version) we used to be able to click on 'See others on page' to see corresponding people. Now we can't and I'm so frustrated at having to do it the long way round all the time by searching on the actual images. Why change something only to make it worse I wonder??? I just hope they put it back on soon - and give us back our page numbers (at the moment only volume is showing up). Ok...rant over!
