1861 Q1 William Edwin Hawes - Henstead 04b 185

Ahh that's him. There's an error in the new index which isn't in the BMD version. Thanks!

Not sure if this is the right spot, but I just found a grand uncle I didn't know about and the REALLY interesting thing is that he seems to have died before he was born!!!!

Alfred Henry Neighbour
Birth - Mar 1894 Vol 1b p401
Death - Dec 1893 Vol 1b p311
Had one which I highlighted on the Northamptonshire board. I think its the same person but others may not.

My only concern , and if anyone can help those who don't live in the UK , is trying to determine which Union or District a person is in related to the County. I am pretty good on the County but its slightly annoying to have to go to a search engine to see if Risbridge Union is in Suffolk etc.

The GENUKI lists should suffice for a quick check.

I'm finding some of the districts on the GRO website aren't exactly the same as on FreeBMD... and has anyone worked out why some say "Union" and some don't?
Transcribing Essex records for FreeREG.
Current parishes - Burnham, Purleigh, Steeple.
Get in touch if you have any interest in these places!

I found one on FreeBMD for Guisborough district but GRO Index had it as Lofthouse, which is now known as Loftus, a town in the Guisborough Registration District.  As far as I know, Lofthouse/Loftus has never been a Registration District. ???
