When are we getting the rest? !!
Looking back, last summer (2018), Clare Santry was telling us she had good and bad news:
The bad: The GRO update was going to be delayed until November 2018 >:(
The good: Going to be a complete update of all outstanding material! :o
Well, the update just happened (June, 2019), a year (or more?) late. And it is not a complete update. Still to be released are pre-1864 marriages, and pre-1878 deaths.
Anyone hear anything?
I want to get a return on all my overpaid taxes!
We wants it! Precious!

Are you referring to the online GRO indexes?
They currently include -
Births 1837 to 1918 it seems the GRO are classing births over 100 years old as Historic
Deaths 1837 to 1957 it seems the GRO are classing births over 161 years old as Historic but this is due to the Dove Project (Digitisation of Vital Events) only digitised death records to 1957
Marriages were not digitised under the Dove project and are therefore not offerred as PDF files.
I also note they now supply a Multilingual Standard Form as an option which I had not noticed before.

Methinks you have the wrong GRO.

Sure is an 'Irish' query...

Yes, I click on the message rather than the board so missed it was a question on the Ireland (Historical Counties) board.

I saw that, but I'm still not clear which years were added compared to what was there before. Apologies if I'm being dense, I may need it spelled out for me.

I was also trying to remember what was previously on the site to avoid duplicating earlier searches :-\

I'm just glad it's free!

Not free... Irish people have their Taxes used to pay for it!
-
Ok, Sorry, I do have an Income Tax Number in Ireland, I will ask how much I should pay.
Maybe I should have said, it's a great site, as we don't pay for the records.

I've found the answer to my own question here (https://www.thejournal.ie/new-genealogy-irish-record-available-online-4666202-Jun2019/).
...births for 1917 and 1918, marriages from 1864 to 1869, 1942 and 1943 and deaths for 1967 and 1968

Very kind of you.

Well said. Totally agree with you.

The use of Irish taxpayers money to give records away for Free!

The Irish are a generous and kindly people, thank God!
Think of how things are in East Ireland, where you have to be rich to lookup GRO registrations.

I am always at a loss when the term taxpayer is used. However that is a different matter. I will assume, if you will pardon that assumption, that you mean value for money for the state.
The Irish public service is obliged to abide by the rules and procedures set out in the Public Spending Code. The Government Accounting Unit of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform oversees the code. Anyone with concerns about a particular area of Government spending may address those concerns to that Unit.

Indeed they can!

West Britain = Ireland
East Ireland = Britain

Still doesn't make any sense ::)

;D I'm a resident of North Britain. Fish swimming around Rockall are also claimed to be residents of North Britain. It is not the fish which are claiming citizenship, it is being claimed on their behalf. If, however, they can prove they had an Irish grandparent, they will be able to apply for an Irish passport.

Rich enough to afford charges of ￡9 per PDF copy or 11 quid for paper, plus ￡3 more for index search, if reference not supplied!
I have looked up hundreds of relatives in the Irish records over the years (I visited and viewed original records in person before they put material online). Because of the lack of detail in the GRO indices, finding the right person often means looking at 10+ registrations. That being so, I have looked at many thousands of registrations over the years. To do that in England would cost 10s of thousands of pounds to do the same! Would not have been possible.

Thank you for explaining.
I am in New South Wales, Australia. Most of my migrating ancestors arrived here from Scotland, Ireland, France, Switzeeland, California, New Zealand, back in late 1790s to 1840s, so I have very little need for English GRO registrations.
