The following updates and announcement has just been published for CheshireBMD. -------------- Message from Ian Hartas, Cheshire. Hi, Cheshire BMD has been updated as follows: Births: 1,011 for Urmston, registers at Trafford (1951-1951) 2,502 for Sale, registers at Trafford (1952-1956) 2,014 for Stretford, registers at Trafford (1958-1960) Many thanks to Geoff Oultram and colleagues for these. The Stretford and Urmston entries will also be found on the Lancashire BMD website. Areas such as Stretford and Urmston are districts which were originally classified as being in one county, but now find themselves in an administration region which is technically in a different county. In this case, Stretford and Urmston used to be in the ancient county of Lancashire, but now come under the administrative cover of Trafford, which is in the ancient county of Cheshire. Hence where we know of such overlaps and have the agreement of the register office, the data is copied on to both the old and new county websites. To help with such cases, UKBMD has a multi-region search facility which will allow you to search two or more of the Local BMD websites together. You will find a link to this on the Local BMD page within the UKBMD website at http://www.UKBMD.org.uk/localbmd/ This latest batch includes an index entry for yours truly! Feeling old... -------------- Forwarded by: Bob Kirk Web address: http://kirksoft.co.uk/ Sent from my iPad
