I recently had cause to review some data I had downloaded from FreeReg some years ago, in answer to a query from a correspondent whose ancestors came from Shepton Mallet, Somerset. I noticed that they had updated the website and seemingly added more data. all well and good. However, when I compared my newly downloaded information with my old data I noticed that some records where 'missing'. These were for burials of people described as 'child of' etc. without a defined forename. The old website FreeReg1 is still accessible and so I repeated my search on that site (not updated since 20 July 2015) and on the new site FreeReg2. I found that the 'missing' records were still on FreeReg1 but not discovered by the search algorithm on FreeReg2. For completeness, the baptisms from both sites were the same, three marriages from FreeReg1 did not appear from FreeReg2 (search surname only found as Witness on FreeReg1, not main participant) and 5 burials (for 'child of' etc.) were missing from FreeReg2. I have contacted FreeReg and am trying to get them to understand the problem. I wondered whether anyone else has come across this issue of records missing from a search on the new site. If you have please let me know and I will pass the information on to FreeReg. Rupert Whitmarsh GoONS #4550
