Hello Diana Freebmd is not a full transcription (yet) of all the records so some are missing. The records are being transcribed by a team of volunteers (and a thank you here for the wonderful job they are doing). If you take a look at this page http://www.freebmd.org.uk/progress.shtml you can see what periods have been covered. Hope this helps Best regards Heather Visit my Family Tree's at GOODWIN and GORDON http://heatherac.tribalpages.com CARBIS SPARROW ATTWOOLL http://carbissparrow.tribalpages.com JOLLIFFE MOULAND http://jolliffemouland.tribalpages.com/ --- On Tue, 30/12/08, Dianadiluca@aol.com <Dianadiluca@aol.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [Ess] Which subscription? Hi, Just a query - On Free BMD I thought if a marriage, birth or death can't be found on there then the marriage didn't occur or the birth or death wasn't registered. I thought it was a comprehensive record. Am I wrong? How is it that Find My Past has different records? Do they get their information from somewhere different? Thanks, Diana (confused from Romford)
