Hi Tony, BMDs have been available in their (almost) entirety for a number of years, from various sites. If the question relates to the Lancashire BMDs, it's more than likely they are updating data capture. They're a rare site in as much as they will provide a mother's maiden name before the accepted introduction date of 1912 as well as adding to their own databases via their volunteers efforts. Hope that helps, Kind regards, Sally > Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 14:12:03 +0000 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LAN] BMD Updates. > From: [email protected] > > Hi, > > I've asked this question before but didn't receive any replies. > > Try again. >>From time to time I receive emails saying that births etc have been updated for some place [email protected]@ to 19&&. > > What I would like to know is this, does this mean those BMDs were NOT available anywhere before? > > Tony
