Is freebmd complete also is Ancestry too ,and if a person died during war years could some records be missing , Carol

No FreeBMD is not yet complete, neither is Ancestry, and yes some documents were distroyed during the war, sorry not to bring you better news. :((( Bev

Hi Bev Thanks for you reply, i did wonder as so many people have looked for my gran including myself ,if her records were distroyed does that mean i wouldnt be able to find her burial Carol

Ancestry does have the COMPLETE indexes, although they are untranscribed, but unfortunately, some pages are missing. You can view them free here:- http://www.ancestry.*co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx Remove star You have to register your e-mail address only.

Carol if you need some help post her name and year of birth and I will take a look. Georgina.

Hi Georgina I think you probably already have in fact i think everyone has , its a hard one she died between 1939 and june 1944 her name was Annie Gellatly Sewart b Dundee scotland 1899 married Joseph Mills 1919 in yarmouth then after 10 yrs took a partener called William Henry Bacon 1931 but never married him so prob died under name of Mills all i know is she died in kent this is too much for you to look up ,it will take ages i really dont mind if you say BYE Carol

Here is a possibility. MILLS Annie, age 40, 1941. Dec. qtr. Dartford, 2a, 1528 After searching both Mills and Bacon form Jan. 1939 to Dec. 1944, this is the only one that comes remotely near the information you gave Jennifer

Hi Jennifer Although there is a 2 yr age difference ,if nothing else comes up then i will send for a death cert as it will have her parteners name on it as there daughter would only be 10 , thank you for taking the time to do this , also he was only her partener for 10 yrs perhaps he didnt know her age or she told him a fib LOL best Wishes Carol

Carol The age on a death cert is only what the informant tells the registra.....it's mostly ever estimated. I'd risk the £7 on that one. It looks good! Gerri

Hi Gerri I thought i would take a look on Ancestry at it as i couldnt believe it and it is age 50 not 40 Carol

I saw that one Carol but as the age was 50 I thought it probably was not her, could she have married someone else apart from William Bacon? Georgina.

Sorry about the wrong age, I think I was starting to go cross eyed. Jennifer

Hi Jennifer I forgive you, it was a task was it not, but you did it so quick i havent got broad band so it is sooooo slow Thanks again u r brill Carol

Hi Georgina yes she married my g.dad in 1919in yarmouth had 5 children and left him after 10yrsof marriage to live in sin with william Bacon they had a child together called Iris b.1931 yarmouth reg twice under mothers name of mills (g.dad would not have been amused) and bacon so she obviously took up his name although they never married ,william had been married before also, with some help from great people on GR i have Irises birth cert and marriage cert and have tried to trace her but no luck she would be in her 70s but she is not on192.com so presume she is dead, and to searh her death would be a large span of yrs would be 1960s till 2007 i have tried everything i know Iris was married in Willesden and her son was born in Willesden 1959 but cant find him so you see i have not been lazy and have been doing this search for about 35 yrs and have got so close then comes a brick wall Carol

Carol what is Iris's exact date of birth? Georgina.

Hi Georgina Irises birth is 6th sept 1931 middle name is Beatrice Carol
