Anyone got any ideas when freebmd is due an update. They haven't updated for ages.

Have no idea Siobhan, but you can check all BMD's on Ancestry's Beta Version for free without subscribing. Kath. x

yeah I know, but unfortunately you can't do a name search, and searching through all the quarters would take for ever, as I haven't go a clue on certain dates.

They probably haven't updated for a long time because 2 out of 7 of their servers aren't working and haven't been for some time. There is a message about it on the home page. Cheers, Horatia

Hello, I spent ages yesterday searching through Ancestry free BMD quarter by quarter. It took ages but I was successful in tying up some loose ends. Sadly though I found that there were quite a few quarters missing. Pam.

You can always use the previous and next page for missing pages on ancestry or be imaginative about spellings! kim

If you have 1/4 missing they could be mistranscribed click on 1/4 that is ok then year above image then 1/4 missing then letter of name then go through images until you get right name. If page missing you will have to go on 1837 site Jeanette
