Thanks Austin Q!

Just realised that the pre 1865ish deaths also now show age at death.
Very helpful.

Just found and sent in a correction for a mistranscribed surname.

I have just found an 1883 birth that I have spent a fortune trying to find over the years- I now know it's the correct one as it includes a maiden name!.

Potty has reported she keeps getting an error message- so perhaps we're clogging the site up. Let's hope it settles down.

This is fantastic news and will save many of us a small fortune.

New search from the GRO allows you to see mother's maiden names on most pre 1911 birth indexes.
