Mary, Hi, There are two sites I use: www.mayoancestors.com www.mayo.brsgenealogy.com They are both pay-per-view sites for the actual birth, marriage and death details, but, once you've registered, checking the index is free. By cross referencing between the two sites and comparing the differing information their respective indexes give, it's possible to get a reasonable idea of whether the entry you've found in the index is the person you're looking for. However, I believe that neither index is complete (can anyone update us on that), so finding a single and corresponding entry on both sites, as I did for the name Philip Lenahan, is still not a definite hit. Hence my question. Regards, Dom. -----Original Message----- From: maidremm [mailto:maidremm@windstream.net] Sent: 04 January 2009 19:50 To: david.omalley@blueyonder.co.uk Subject: Re: [IRL-MAYO] BMD registration districts. Dom, Where online did you get the BMD index? Thanks for any help. Mary
