I have gone through my "deaths" taken from the post-2006 GRO indexes and of the 72 entries on the fiche, only 32 of them are in the Ancestry dataset. Saying that, it is useful to have the exact date of death. However, perhaps we should tell the BBC that they are now back in the Home Counties as one entry for 2010 says "Salford, Bedfordshire".
