This is exciting news! Forwarded with the kind permission of the author: -------- Original Message -------- Hi www.lancashirebmd.org.uk is one of several similar sites providing on-line access to indexes to register office birth, marriage and death certificates. Other sites cover Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, W. Midlands, N. Wales, Wiltshire and Bath. Ian Hartas who designed the original system has now introduced a facility to search across all of these databases and this is available at http://www.ukbmdsearch.org.uk/ Searches will provide the same facility of printing an order form for a certificate to send to the office concerned. The only limitation is that searches are limited to 10 year periods so you may need to do more than one search if there is any uncertainty as to dates. Searches are so fast that you should not find this a problem. John ++++++++++++ John Marsden Sale, Cheshire Researching the MARSDEN surname worldwide
