Strictly speaking, what you're searching on FreeBMD etc, is the GRO index, not the entries themselves. For England, the only way to find out what's actually on an entry is to buy a certified copy of the entry. If you've got the ref info from FreeBMD, then you can buy the cert for 7 GBP - without it it costs at least 10GBP. |

Free BMD goes up to about 1935, but they are not on there. They are however on Ancestry, which goes up to 2005 for marriages. |
