Two large blocks
of changes are still in the pipeline, but in the
meantime around 140 new BMD records have been
added, 47 new Baptisms, 40 Marriages and 52
Burials.

GRO Records |
Finally a major
upgrade of information - the mothers maiden name
is now added (where known) in brackets after her
name. There are one or two issues where the name
is showing twice, once in brackets and once not,
but these will be sorted out in the coming days.

GRO Records |
Quite a good
number of changes, with a much larger block
being worked on [this will take a while yet]. 48
new GRO Birth matches, 110 Marriages, 10 Deaths,
32 new deaths at young age identified, and
another 78 Birth entries matched to census in
the absence of birth/baptism details.

GRO Records |
An update on the
levels of records matched for the three GRO
indexes - 3352 GRO Births are now matched to a
baptism and/or birth, 24.5% of the total between
1837 and 1920. In addition 497 matches have been
made between Births and Deaths, usually at a
very young age, and 1586 census entries have
been matched to Births where no other
information is held.
4246 Marriages have been matched, 59% of
the total (with quite a number to be added over
the winter), and 2031 Deaths have been matched,
25.5% of the overall total. In addition, a long
planned-for update will be actioned in the
coming months, first started in late 2010 but
never implemented fully, where the maiden name
of the mother will be shown on the site if
known.

General site and
systems update
|
After the busy
summer period, updates will hopefully begin to
appear again. A few minor changes and additions
have been made, together with transfer to a new
PC and editing software.
|
| 15 May 11 |
GRO Records |
Small update, 64 new Marriage
matches and 10 Deaths, together with small
cosmetic changes on several other pages and
sections. |
| 24 Jan 11 |
North
American Census [linked via Online Records

Newly expanded section for North
America, now including Canadian census entries
as well as existing USA links. 1881 and 1891

for 1920/1930. |
| 9 Jan 11 |

At the same time as the update
below, a few extra matches have been added to
Births (2), Marriages (10) and Deaths (2). |
| 9 Jan 11 |
Unmatched
Marriages and Burials [linked via Online
Records main page] |
A new section for entries I hold
between 1837 and 1920, where I have been unable
to match them to an entry in the GRO Indexes.
There may be a variety of reasons for this, not
least that my own records may have errors, so if
you can update any entries please do let me
know. |
| 4 Jan 11 |
GRO Records |
First small update for the New
Year, 19 new Births matches, 15 marriages and 80
Deaths. |
| 13 Dec 10 |
US Census
Records |
Some small cosmetic changes to the
pages, together with some additional
UK/passenger details for 1900 and 1910. |
| 3 Dec 10 |
GRO Records |
Matches updated, mainly new
marriages - 12 extra Births and 162 new
Marriages. |
| 11 Nov 10 |
GRO Records |
Work continues to increase matches
to parish register and census information.
Increases as follows [total now matched in
brackets] :- Births 127 [3318], Marriages 8
[3977], Deaths 5 [1937], Births to Deaths 6
[500], and Birth to Census down 29 [1589]. |

Census
Strays |
For now work on the 1911 census
has stopped, due to other priorities, but will
hopefully continue in mid to late 2011. |
| 11 Nov 10 |
GRO Records |
An additional piece of information
will be phased in to all Birth matches where
possible - when the maiden name of the mother is
known, it will be shown in brackets. This will
help you to cross reference to marriages. At
present only a small number have this
information, but many more will be amended in
the coming months where I hold related marriage
details. |
| 24 Aug 10 |
Census
Totals |
Page updated to show totals for
counties in the 1911 census, one or two not yet
shown. |
| 24 Aug 10 |
GRO Records |
Small update, 1 extra Birth and 53
new Marriages matched. |
| 20 Jul 10 |
Census
Strays |
Herefordshire 1911 entries
continue to be worked on, Hereford District
strays only within the county now added, others
such as Kington, Leominster etc yet to be added.
Other counties now complete and added are DBY,
GLS, ESS, DEV, DOR and HAM. |
| 7 Jun 10 |
GRO Records |
Small update, 6 new matches for
Births, 63 Marriages and 35 Deaths. |
| 8 Mar 10 |
GRO Records |
Over two hundred new matches for
GRO records - 134 Births, 42 Marriages and 66
Deaths. This has led to small reductions in
Birth/Death matches (-6) and Birth/census (-22).
Work continues on 1911 census data with
Herefordshire now in progress, though not yet
added to any files which are visible here. |
| 26 Jan 10 |
Census
Strays |
1841 - 1901 pages updated with
previously missing information where it has been
possible to locate it (Heads of Household etc.)
New pages/links added for 1911 data as and when
I have it in a format to upload, very little on
these pages as yet but they will grow. The 1911
census contains around 7,000 Preece entries
including variants. The following counties have
so far been processed :- BDF, BKM, BRK, CHS
& CON. Not all of these will have produced
strays. |
| 29 Dec 09 |
GRO Records |
Small update - I new Birth match,
27 new Marriage matches, 17 Births matched to
young Deaths, and 79 new Census - Birth matches. |
| 31 Aug 09 |
GRO Records |
The initial check of entries for
GRO Births 1891 - 1901 has now ended - 458 new
Census/Birth matches have been made, together
with 156 Birth/Death matches. In addition 21 new
Births matches have been added, and a couple of
Marriages and Deaths. The result of all this is
that now over 6,000 GRO Births have some type of
matching information shown, whether it is actual
birth information, baptism, probable census
match or death record match for those who died
in infancy. |
| 27 Jul 09 |
GRO Records |
Large chunk of 1898-1900 births
matched to census records where no other
matching details held, resulting in 132 new
Census/Birth matches. In addition, the new match
of death to birth records(usually where death
occurs very young) has started, where it is not
possible to match to a census record, and this
has begun with 226 records being matched in this
way. A few other updates on matches have also
been added - 6 new Births, 6 new Deaths and 4
Marriages. |
| 22 Jul 09 |
GRO Records |
Start of new long-term plan to
attempt to try to match those Births entries
where no baptism/birth data held against the
correct entry in the first census after birth.
This has started with entries around 1900, and
todays update has 7 new Births added together
with 160 new Census/Birth matches. In turn, it
is hoped to also highlight those birth entries
where the person died in infancy (and so would
be unlikely to appear in any census). The period
1891 - 1901 will be covered first. |
| 7 Jul 09 |

GRO matches updated - 22 new
Births, 48 Marriages and 9 Deaths. Small
