The latest update shows an increase of 1,691,542 in the total number of records and an increase of 1,016,271 in the number of unique/distinct records. This analysis compares this month's breakdown of distinct records with last month's breakdown. Future analyses could be based on total records, distinct records or unique records, but my initial leaning is towards total records. I would welcome other users' thoughts. There are 526,840 more Births. The big increases are for 1907 (107,832); 1874 (80,991) and 1873 (78,634) but there are 4 other years with increases over 18K: 1891 (47,586); 1890 (35,808); 1870 (32,805) and 1842 (26,664) There are 99,682 more Marriages. There are just 2 years with increases over 10K: 1860 (23,027) and 1839 (12,946) There are 389,749 more Deaths. There are 8 years with increases over 13K: 1888 (49,726); 1841 (43,448); 1852 (37,921); 1858 (37,491); 1910 (30,014); 1865 (22,057); 1884 (21,377) and 1882 (19,154) The site gives an explanation of the terms: total records, distinct records and unique records, and a lot more graphs are available.
