Oh I completely agree that the index is brilliant, I just wish it had included mother's names pre 1837 as I've already bought about half a dozen wrong certificates trying to find my g.grandfather.

The new search is a vast improvement, and let's hope they do the same with the marriages and deaths  :)

I made this comment during the recent Worldcup freebie and guess others did the same, but I assume they have been working on this new release for a while.

Well, whatever  you all say, I think it's really good  - much better that the opposition  :)

I know that as I have Ancestry World! Thus I am able to compare them both and  FindMyPast's results are much better

The mother's name only started to be included on the index in about 1911.

Gadget, in what respect are they much better? (in regard to BMD's only)

The searching seems to produce better results - probably better transcriptions - and  I prefer the layout of the results panel - much clearer.
