Are these all the records from the LMA as they seem to be incomplete. I want to look at the registers of St John Wapping from the 1720s and I've looked at the link for registers 1707-1740 ( well I actually did it in 10 page gaps rather than look at all 430 odd) and it all seems to be burials. While these are absolutely fascinating as they give cause of death ( how do you die from "teeth"?  ??? ) is that it? I'd quite like the B&M bit as well.

I don't like to sound ungrateful but it would be useful if there was an explanation of exactly what is in the database.

Pretty sure they are not complete Carole, i mentioned back on page 7 of this thread i think people should keep looking over the months, as i have checked for some i know should be there and are not,
even the normal BDM are still being added to, when i first started using Ancestry back in .... i searched for my gt Grandparents death records and because they had an unusual name i searched over a long time under different spellings etc,
then a few months ago i found them under the correct spelling in the place i expected them to be, so DEFFO' were recent additions, and it has happened on other people, so i am pretty sure there are records of the LMA to be added,
a pain i know all i can suggest is you have a sheet or notebook to jot down what you have searched years/names etc,
will be interesting if people let us know when they find records not previously found.

Is anyone else having a problem getting the search box up for the marriage and banns database on AncestryLibrary?  I get a small grey box with nothing in it.

I was using this at City of Westminster Archives today, no problems there.

Cheers, I guess it's probably just the computers down here then.
