Hello, when I search for a birth the mother's maiden name is not coming up, even when I know the maiden name. I am not doing anything different that I would normally do, is there something wrong with the site. FreeBMD is working ok - thanks |

You're right Marian. I've just tried a birth from the 1930's and one from 1990's and neither show the mother's maiden name - although they used to. |

I don't think it can be a data protection issue Shirley as the mother's maiden name is shown on Findmypast for births less than 50 years old. My grandson's birth is showing with his mother's maiden name and he is only 22 years old. |

If you pursue any recent birth on the GRO site as far as trying to order a cert, you will see that full parental details have to be inserted. |

Is there a reason why there is a big gap in the years available to search births, although more recent births are available to search? |

Don't know why the big gap. |
