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 over 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 Records GRO matches updated - 22 new Births, 48 Marriages and 9 Deaths. Small decrease in Census/Birth matches of 8.
25 Apr 09 GRO Records GRO matches updated - 43 new Births, 40 Marriages and an increase of 88 in Deaths.
7 Mar 09 GRO Records GRO matches updated - 18 new Births, 32 new Marriages and 25 new Deaths. Small increase in Census/Birth matches of 5.
9 Jan 09 Links Page updated with a some new and amended links, and removal of old ones. Addresses removed from society links due to changing nature of such information.
23 Nov 08 Census Strays

Census Strays section completely restructured - new main page set up (linked via On-line records). From this you have ability to view strays from 1841 - 1901 inclusive, separated in 6 sections per year to make more manageable. "Not Known", "Unknown" etc entries now included, where had previously been excluded. Totals of records involved are as follows:

1841 - 338, 1851 - 827, 1861 - 877, 1871 - 1142, 1881 - 1515, 1891 - 1798 and 1901 - 2240.

23 Nov 08 GRO Records GRO matches updated - 128 new Births, 7 Marriages and 6 Deaths. Reduction in Census - Birth matches of a further 12 entries.
16 Nov 08 GRO Records GRO matches updated - 125 new Births links and 35 Marriages. This has also resulted in a reduction in Census - Birth matches of 13.
23 Oct 08 GRO Records GRO matches update - 41 new Births, 136 Marriages, 6 Deaths and just 2 Census - Births.
23 Sep 08 GRO Records Display adjusted to use "traffic light" system - records where no matching details are held shown with red background, those with details in green, with a yellow (amber) background used for those Births matched with census records only. Long term aim to remove all "red" entries!
22 Sep 08 GRO Records Error corrected on GRO Marriage pages (pre 1911), removing duplicated GRO Reference column. In addition, updates made to GRO matches :- 256 new matches added to GRO Births, 42 matches removed from Marriages, and 17 new Deaths matches added. Census - Births matches reduced to 838, down by 23, as a result of the above changes.
1 Sep 08 Updates (this page) In future details will be added here of numbers of new records added. An update has been made today of the GRO index files, and totals to date are as follows :- 2389 GRO Births have been matched with Birth and/or Baptism details, 3560 GRO Marriages have been matched with Marriage details, and 1691 GRO Deaths entries have been matched with Death and/or Burial details. In addition, a further 861 GRO Birth entries, which have no birth or baptism details, have been matched with a census entry giving details on place of birth and/or parents.
