Nivard, I too have tried to find these records on FreeBMD and failed miserably. The records on the site seem to cover civil registrations, not back to 1796. I have the feeling that you might be referring to a different site. Is it Find My Past?

Hi Meg I do apologise I misread the post as asking where to find the deaths at sea on findmypast, hence my reply as you surmised Thats what happens when you try and do to many things at the same time :-( Freebmd does *not* cover any of what is known as the overseas indexes which cover Births, Marriages and Deaths at sea and regimental events plus consular and other indexes However it may be of interest to you to know that many of the overseas indexes can be browsed for free on http://www.familyrelatives.com/ Although a pay site they do have some of the overseas indexes to browse for free (you need to register but not give CC details etc) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 13/03/2013 18:40, Meg and Mike Hartford wrote: > Nivard, > > I too have tried to find these records on FreeBMD and failed miserably.
