Yes, this is very good. However, they still seem to be playing around with it and on different days, different sets of records are available. E.g. yesterday Births 1916 to 2005 was exactly that. Today, despite what the heading says, it is 1984 to 2005 only. One word of warning when searching. I found a birth in Bournemouth reg dist as it should have been but the county given was "Sussex, Isle of Wight" ! So even when all the records are up and running, transcriptions may once again be a problem.
