Hi Denys For HEMPSALL , the ANCESTRY England & Wales INDEX 2007-13 is about 50% deficient . It shows 17 deaths, whereas from my last check in Bridgend Library the total was 38. I wonder if they're just going by OBITS? I can't see that they'd have someone laboriously going through the fiches!

I then searched, instead, the seven year period from 2000 to 2006 and rlisted a total of 54 MORCOMs. This suggests that the new database has only recorded about half the MORCOM* deaths between 2007 and 2013. Alternatively, could there have been a plague in the last few years which singled out disproportionately those with MORCOM* genes!?

Most of the GODSONs listed appear in the probate records or obituaries but where did they find my mother's date of birth? Surely it wasn't from my Godson Family History Newsletter? The section of postcode was that of her care home and not the hospital where she died. Her age was wrong having been a simple subtraction from the years given. For most deaths the precise date of birth was not provided - just the age, in which case there was a good chance the birth year was out by one.
